Default Variety of headers

got a 97 xj sport.

would this be a good upgrade header?

my header.......with a lifetime warranty. As for performance i didnt notice much.

The only mod i did i could feel something was the Ported TB.

is where i got mine from and its built like a tank and fit 100%
I reccomend 100% to replace your motor mounts when you have the motor apart....if you dont you will be sorry.

i've replaced my motor mounts 3 times already... did it 3 days ago again
that looks exactly like the stock header. i plan on getting a pacesetter as of right now unless someone chimes in and tells me otherwise.

The eBay manifold is nice great for the price.
you should get a set of ironman Andy poly motor mounts he got me a set for 75 shipped.
With those your motor won't twist which wontt crack the header. An will also improve your power.
