I got the pacesetter long tube header and like it a lot. There is one rather big problem though as it did not even come close to lining up with the rest of the factory exhaust. It wasnt that much of a problem for me as I was replacing the entire system anyways.

Any suggestions on adding parts with my new exhaust
So I'm new to the sight, just recently purchased a 97 Cherokee 4.0, and I bought a dynomax exhaust and intake with Borla headers. I'd like to add some more power and eventually put a 3" lift with 31's. With the exhaust I know I'll probably need a Y pipe, but are there any other suggestions that I should add? I'm not a mechanic, but I have a mechanic buddy that's gonna help me put it all together.

No you shouldn't, but if the borla is split you'll have to bring it to a shop to have the down pipe made.

If it's a two piece yes because the stock manifold has a single collector.

I'm in the market for a new exhaust. I am debating between the Performance Curve kit with the Flowmaster 44 and the Iron Rock Kit with the baffled muffler. Does anybody have any input or suggestions?

Posted this in ask a question thread thought I might have more luck here. Derp... lol.


I'm doing my exhaust and O2s on my 99... I took both O2s out of the boxes for some reason and got them mixed up. I know 23151 is upstream but I'm not sure which one is which.

I noticed one has like two little holes on the tip the other has a bunch of slots on the tip. Does anyone know which one is which?

I figured it out. Pulled the upstream and it just had little holes. Not slots. That's also when I realized upstream has a gray connector, downstream has black. Lol.

Our AP Turbo Muffler is baffled if you are only looking for a little sound.

I don't have anything like the kit mentioned above. I can maybe get the factory tailpipe and couple it with a performance muffler but I would need to know the year if you are interested in that.

Hey All,

I just got my APN Header and want to install it this weekend. My question is, will it fit with my stock down pipe?? I'm not sure what type of cat I have, but I do have a Magna Flow muffler.

I installed the APN header on my 99 XJ and it is completely stock as far as exhaust is concerned. It fit just fine.
