Default Good aftermarket Header from best automotive

My Header is cracked and i have been searching for a good priced replacement that will help me pick up a few HP and some better MPG. I normally dont search E-bay as i find it to be hit or miss...But i came across this awesome header at a great price. Its actually a steal...i know what everyone is gonna say..! you get what you pay for...and i agree but it has a lifetime guarntee. so im gonna be the test mule...just thought i would put it up since some are in the market like me.!! All the feedback from the 4.0 Owner has been great.

Well don't include me in that group buy. It won't fit my Jeep. Hope it fits yours OK 98 Jeep Jeep.
I am always skeptical when they use a scantily clad girl to advertise their stuff. If it is good quality you don't need her to sell it for you.

I agree, But i was sure to check there feed back scaning for the 4.0 H.O owners..All of them had noting but good things to say. Both fit and quality. The header looks very stout I thought the stock header was big not compared to this one....and for 110 to my door with a lifetime ill give it a shot.

Got around to installing the header...Sorry no pics i was in to much of a hurry...But my old header cracked because the water spraying out from the freeze plug sprayed directly on it. But the quality of the new header is awesome...I has a nice 5/8" flange to insure it wont warp. the weld are a work of art and the extra slag was all sanded down off the header. It looks like they spent there time of this header!!! You get alot for 80$ i would reccomend this header to anyone over the 3-500 dollar rip off headers out there. Fit was dead on!!
