I totally agree get the APN header. Use the money you save to buy some 703 injectors and call it a day. You wont regret it

Hell no unless it has an EO#. I don't think I've seen one but I haven't looked to hard either.

Anyone running a Dynomax header? It uses a 3-2-1 long tube design which should be good for torque. I already have one because it's one of the few headers that would fit my Renix, that XJ is now sold, never got around to installing it, but it's supposed to fit up to '93 XJ's so I was thinking of installing it on my '91...

So I tried the Edlebrock ceramic coated header on my 4.6L stroker. It cracked in 13 mounths awesome one year warranty. I ended up putting the later model two piece cast oem exhaust manifold back on and built a Y pipe with 2.5" stuff all back and it is still going strong (3yrs). Just something to keep in mind.

APN is a carbon copy of a Banks header. Image search both and you could swap names and not notice.

I wish I had a spare 125... I'm doing my own custom exhaust and seriously thinking about making my own header..... my dads buddy owns a big time classic car resto shop dealing in exotic American iron. He welds up his headers in stainless.... I can prob get parts from him.

All headers are designed to flow better than stock manifold logs, performance won't be much with a header alone, it will take a combination of quite a few upgrades for any real performance to be seen.If your looking to do future upgrades also you should consider getting a coated header while more money the benifits are greater than just a standerd uncoated steel header.
