Got a 97 XJ with 159,000 miles. I was thinking about buying some Better Fuel Injectors and a Better header. Any suggestions on Injectors and headers? I have a K&N CAI, High Flow Cat, Flowmaster super 40 muffler. I would like it to be a little louder-hoping a better header will fix this. Are aftermarket injectors worth buying? Any Links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

You actually have the best injectors that were put into a cherokee.

'87-90 18.6lb/hr @ 39psi
91-93 21.0lb/hr @ 39psi
94-95 21.0lb/hr @ 39psi
96-98 23.2lb/hr @ 49psi
99-01 22.5lb/hr @ 49psi

The stuff I have read says that the 96-98 injectors and map sencer/computer can handle the upgrades that you might do. and are just as good as the ford injectors that are talked about for a swap. My suggestion is to have them professional cleaned. Mine cost about 130.00 to have done. I have a borla header. The only problem I have with it is when the left front tire drops into a hole/ditch etc. and all the other wheels are on same level of road the front driveshaft hits it. Grant it it has to be a big hole, but I think other headers might have a better design. That would come down closer to the oilpan. Then again my junk could be messed up. My2c.

Cool thanks, hey "the Black". I live in Conroe, not too far from me.

thats expensive...you can find that same header on E-bay for alot less.

 

for injectors most people upgrade to either Dodge Neon Injectors or FMS 19lb/hr injectors.

For the neon injectors you need to get a specific p/n injector

 

ok thanks, i found the header on ebay and yes it was the exact same one for alot cheaper thanks!

About the injectors-what is it going to do for my jeep? how will it help?

 

try a banks header http://bankspower.com/app/index/7

 

It can help with your gas milage a bit. It doesn't change the amount of fuel the Jeep gets it just changes how that fuel is dispersed. From what I know all cherokees came with single hole spray injectors stock. the FSM 19lb or Neon injectors are 4hole spray so the fuel vaporizes and burns better. I have FSM 19lb injectors on my XJ and I've noticed that in neutral it revs quicker and my gas milage went up by 1-2mpg. It also seems to have helped my available low end torque a bit.

 

Well sure i would love to put a Banks header on my Jeep but dang! a little pricy, over $400.........

 

Ok thanks Zacksxj, I will definately put the FMS 19lb injectors on my jeep sometime soon. Sounds like a good upgrade!

 

I'd recommend Neon injectors. FSM work and work well. I would've bought a 2nd set of 4 Neon injectors if I hadn't gotten such a good deal on the FMS 19lbs I have in it now.
