X2 and if you rub into the troubles I did it's the ONLY thing that will take it off

Do you have any problems with the inverter heating up too much under the seat? Also what gauge wire did you use for the install of the inverter?
I have a 750watt that I plan on installing, Iwas planning on useing 4ga wire. What fuse (size/amp) should I use in between the inverter and power source?

Hey, I have a question about the exhaust manifold on my 2000 Xj sport 4.0
Is the year 2000 exhaust manifold/better then the older ones? Is it true they came up with a two piece design fro that year?
I am asking because I thought of investing into a nicer header, but I also heard that the 2000 stock manifold is alright and gives enough flow.
Please advise.

you will see little to no benefit from a "header". It will essentially be the same design.

If it doesn't have a hole in it, don't spend the money on it.
