I'm building a stroker for my 87 Cherokee Laredo and I'm looking for a good quality header. I've heard great things about the APN header, but I can't find one for an 87 Renix? The only ones that seems to pop up in my searches are pacesetter (which I've heard horrible things about) or the dynomax, which I know nothing about. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

 

Bump

 

Have you looked at RockAuto.com? they have ATP and DORMAN... I think., check it out, it's a great site.

 

Hmmm, just took a look. The only ones I found were stock manifolds. I'm looking for a performance header. Did you mean performance headers? or stock?

 

borla

 

Is that what you are running on yours?

 

not yet, my friend upgraded to a pacesetter so he sold me his borla for cheap. i havent put it on yet but it looks pretty decent

 

i looked high and low and the only header i could find for my renix was pacesetter, it was fairly inexpensive but as others will tell ya it has fitment issues, the header bolts up fine but the down pipe/cross pipe is not properly bent and hits the auto trans at the cross member and needs to be reworked, i chose to cut it mid section where it crosses over and add a piece of braided flex pipe and all is good , you also need to cut and refit the emissions pipe that runs from the header to intake.

but question, not sure what extent of stroker your going with but why not do a HO head swap which would give ya better performance and a dozen different companies to choose from for headers.

 

well, I'm doing a simple stroker. Nothing too powerful. Just your basic 4.5. I don't really want to throw a ton of money at it, so I'd like to stay with mostly the original parts minus the essentials.
