whats a cam, and what does it do?

 

Camshaft is like the heart of the engine. It opens and closes the valves. A performance cam will alter when and how long the valves are open. The more lobe seperation, the better/more rumbly it sounds.

 

Have you ever seen a muscle car shake side to side kind of ay a stop light. Cam baby!

 

BAH BUH BAH BUH BAH BUH BAH BUH Gives me butterflies every time

 

Gotta love the lope Put a cam in your jeep and it'll sound exactly like this

 

I have a hair-line crack where the tubes meet the collector on the exhaust manifold. Can this be mig/tig welded or does the manifold need to be replaced. Thanks.

 

Yes and no. My shop teacher rewelds his but it usually lasts 6 months tops. Get an APN header

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking the same thing and the header is reasonably priced. Thanks again!

 

I just installed the same setup on my 95ZJ 5.2 and I would rate it at A 1.5 difficulty level. Tools I would suggest are a sawzall with a long metal cutting blade other than that all I used was a ratchet and some jackstands to hold it up while I bolted the kit together. The magnaflow cat didn't come with a clamp so I reused the old one, I had to jack the jeep up in the ait to get the tail pipe over the rear axel other than that the jeep stayed on all fours the cat they sent me also had an O2 sensor bung on the down hill side called magnaflow and they said to plug it with an 18mm fine thread bolt. time to complete 2.5 hours 1.5 hours to demo the ol rusty bastage and a lil less than an hour to install the new setup. Hope this helps.

 

[quote=Raidedxelite;1189140]hey my cherokee sounds like an RC car right now in the mud. Im thinking about getting a cherrybomb, because i heard their cheap? just putitng it right on the cat. Are they too loud? I dont wanna be obnoxiouslky loud but I dont want it to sound like a wimp either?? also anyone know a price range or easy place otpick one up?[/quote

 

Not Necessarily noticeable, but I would be suprised if anything done to an XJ's exhaust would really affect the butt-dino readings. The chief advantage is that they have that flex pipe in them, so they don't crack as often as the factory ones.

 

I noticed mine tonight It's the first time I've kicked'er down with the pacesetter! Still no exhaust behind it though $150 for straight pipe with a cat

 

Thanks

 

REALLY quick question...had it answered before but I forgot :P

I'm getting a flowmaster super 44 for my XJ, how big of an extension do i need?

 

Hey guys do goin out on a lim with this one wanted to get some opinions.
