Default cherokee mods.

hello i am new to the site i have a 1994 jeep cherokee sport with a 3 inch lift and a winch bumper with a ramsey winch in it. i want more mods on it to make it even more awesome than it already is, so far i'm thinking snorkel, aftermarket header, and maybe exhaust. any other ideas? thanks!

Then certainly don't want a lifted 4WD Cherokee.

i do a mix of going fast and going offroad, it's not strictly for offroading. that's why the lift isn't insanely high.
but good point lol.

that's brutal! i love it.
do you know of any performance gains or is it just super pretty sounding?
is it the same on the 4 liter or does it just work on the stroked engine?

Definite seat of the britches improvement over the stock manifold. Yes it fits a 4.0L ( the stroker is based on a 4.0L block and cylinder head).

Snorkels are a waste of money here. Get a decent paper filter like Purolator and you'll be much better off. Stay far away from anything that says K&N on it. If you simply can't live without a conical air cleaner get an AEM filter mated to a universal style intake tube.

K&N does a very poor job of filtering the air.

Besides a lack of deep water here, they tend to get ripped off by the rocks and trees.
