2.5L Performance Wrangler header on XJ???

[Cherokee85]

Hi guys.

quick one for you, I've spotted a rather nice performance header (exhaust manifold) for a YJ Wrangler and was wondering if this would fit the XJ 2.5L as well?? Has anyone done this?

thanks guys

Will it fit the XJ. I don't know for sure, but most probably. The thing you have to find out is if the rest of the exhaust will fit it. Worst case scenario is that you have some more exhaust work to be done on the header pipe

very true 4.3LXJ, seen one by Pacesetter exhausts, can always have a custom made front pipe and I really would like a good muffler and tail pipe too, thinking Borla

Lots of good ones out there. If you like noise, check into spin tech. Last muffler you will need to buy. But needs to be welded in.

thanks for heads up on that

If you are wanting a healthy sound, the spin tech is the best IMO. I had it on a 2.0L Subaru for awhile behind a 2.25" pipe, and it turned heads. It did not have that typical ricer sound

HEY! you this ends up working please let me know! i have the 2.5 L too and have been looking for a header forever. i currently have a gibson cat back exhaust. Sounds deep but not crazy loud! thanks!

Thanks 4.3LXJ :-)

Yeah the Gibson is appealing too :-)
