Where are some decent places to get a new exhaust header. Not looking for OEM, looking for a performance header at a decent price. Cheapest I've found is about $175 which isnt bad, but I just figured Id see if someone has seen any cheaper.

Already checked the normal sites; ebay, google shops, amazon, jegs, and summit.

 

yea im wondering the same thing, i think the $175 ones are the ones on ebay that arent coated, for coated ones theyre like $189, or something like that, idk. but yea, headers a few $$ cheaper than that would be sweeeet. not to kill your thread here DJK but while were on the exhaust topic, does anyone know where to get a good exhaust set up? i know rustys has that muffler package and cat back pipe thats a bigger diameter than stock but $180 for that with the flowmaster 50 i want seems like a lot, when you can get a turbo thrush or something like that from farm & barn for like $35.

 

quadratec has a dynomax muffler and tailpipe combo for $150,ill be getting that when i have extra loot

 

yea, thats pretty much the same thing as rustys is offering, comes with a cherry bomb pro for $150, upgrade to a flowmaster 40 for an extra $25 and a flowmaster 50 for and extra $30. its something id definitely like to get eventually but i need a lift/wheels first. originally when i got my jeep and kinda planned out a project thing i was gonna go performance then lift but my leafs are inverted and need attention haha. plus i might just get a muffler and make my own exhaust, have it comin out the side or something.

 

DJK, sorry for turning your header thread into an exhaust thread haha.

 

Well all good exhausts start with a header, so a good thread starts there and ends with a tailpipe! LOL. I was on Cherry Bombs site and they have a direct bolt on cat. converter for the early XJs. I am going to grab one of those for about 100 and their Vortex ehaust flows like crazy and sounds S W E E T !!!

I wont mind paying a little more for the coated header, just gotta wait a little longer to save up for it.

Oh, and I dont have a tail pipe. I attached a turndown to the end of my muffler and I dont have to worry about smacking it with the axle on full flex, or ripping it off with my departure angle!
