OEM vs. 3-2-1 aftermarket. The OEM being on the right.

3-2-1 Headers are supposed to have an improved rate of flow and a bit more "flex".
XJ with the I6 have a reputation for cracking the exhaust manifolds

300, 400++... Idk who made that one but they are all about the same. Different materials, design and size are all factors of the aftermarket header. They offer a less restrictive flow and are made from high quality materials (ceramic, stainless..). Not to mention this is actually a good mod and sounds good!
