Manifolds

Backpressure/idle/flow??.. Forget it, you're driving a Jeep, not a finely tuned Italian machine. Listen to Allen. I too have heard a lot of cracking stories about Banks. The only good thing is the million mile warranty or whatever they have. I'd still forget about that and just get a cheap one with expansion joints.

I'd rather replace the header once every 8 years even if I have to pay for a new header every time. If you get the Banks the part may be replaced for free but you'll be replacing it every 6 months.

x2. its a jeep get it in the dirt and out of the shop. now.

my buddy had a banks and it cracked after 3 months he replaced it with an OEM one and its been good ever since.. why pay $300+ for something that barely gives you any horsepower. When you can get OEM ones for $75 on ebay all day? seems dumb to me.

I wonder if that has to do with the thicker steel. Damn, I had one of those on my shopping list too. What else is good that's bigger than stock?

Truthfull ive heard that pretty much all headers on a jeep crack. Theres another buddy of mine that has a crack in his Gibson header and is taking it to them on Monday to be fixed/replaced. I think one of the best companies was JBA actually dont quote me though.

Geebo, if you plan on installing yourself, I can come by and assist at some wrenching. I've never done a header before, but read up on it and see if you want to attempt it. The Monster will be cheaper than the $400 anyhow...and I know you've always got cold Monster's around!

Steveo, Thanks for the offer..MatterDaddy gave me a basic install writeup..other than that you know me oil, grease, grime, and tools are all Greek to me lol...one way or the other gota do it in the near future..Any luck with your rig??

Nah, still not smog legal. I think I'm gonna wait until mid-April when I re-gear rather than F'ing with finding smaller tires. My extension on registration ends at the end of March, so if needed, I'll use my "Get Out Of Jail Card." if I get pulled over.
