I have the Rugged Ridge Polished Stainless Header (Omix-Ada I believe) on my 2000 XJ. It is actually on a 1994 engine and head, but installed in my 2000 vehicle. Not sure on actual HP gain, its on a 4.8L stroker. So far so good, Price was pretty decent. It has treated me well, was a PITA to get the intake bolts in however once it was inside the vehicle. Once I got the method down, it wasn't that bad.

I would advise against banks. I've had 3 sets of them in the same jeep. They all keep cracking at the collection point. They have a life time warranty but it still sucks to be doing all that work every time they go bad. Here is a pic of one that split.

One thing you will notice about the aftermarket headers for the 00-01 XJs is that weather it's the Banks, Flowdaddy, or any other manufacturer they ALL look the same, and they are ALL built out of the same type of stainless steel.
That being said, I'm a little put off by the Banks headers high price tag. You can basically get the exact same header from a lesser known brand for cheaper. |

Definitely a little spendy though! |
i did the banks and haven't had a problem. Change you Cat and catback. do the O2 sensors as well while you're at it. Banks does 25% quarterly. call them, they'll help you out.
saw the one guy who said he's trashed a few. I doubt that unless you're really running it in hard weather. otherwise in my dealings id imagine they would warranty it |
