when you guys did your header did you reuse the bolts and studs or get new ones?
I thought I was all set to do the install to day and then I got nervous about the bolts. the dealer wanted $80 for the hardware lol and they didn't have em in stock so f that.

should I get new ones online? or will it be OK to reuse the bolts/studs

i reused em on my 99. i put the same header on and it is an awesome one

with a header/intake it's perfectly fine to reuse the bolts.

It's the HEAD bolts that need to be replaced with a swap.

Ive had my intake/APN header off a few times, Always re-used them and never had any issues.

Gee oh Dee

Moved to advanced tech since your working with an aftermarket header.

Thanks guys wish I'd seen this earlier. Oh well I ended up finding some in the help section when I went to get a torque wrench and bought them. So now I've got another question. How do you unplug the injector wires? It looks like you push in the tabs but they won't budge.

xjheep92

Just figured it out. There's a little metal wire clip that has to come of.

I'm going to be installing full exhaust and new injectors. (703s)
Apn header new Stock downpipe. "Custom" cat and dynomax "superturbo" (name is hilarious lol) 2.5 catback

How much is that APN header? Ive been looking for a affordable header to bolt to my 99 once Im done porting her head and have her back together.

im so f&%$$ing pissed right now. things were moving along great got the fuel lines disconnected PS pump unhooked intake manifold off and look at my not even 3 months old motor mounts. BROKEN both of them wtf i just replaced in prep for my header. now I'm screwed cuz i have work tomorrow. looks like ill be riding my bike lol

im cant justify putting this header in with broken motor mounts. especially while they are currently so accessible to be replaced

can anyone recommend motor mounts that dont suck and break after a few months? i went with rubber ones from rock auto because I heard the poly ones are really rough on the dd. but now i dont know what to get

dukie564

Just one

BROWN DOG

xjheep92

yup thats what im lookin at right now. i saw the iron man ones as well but i still want to stick with rubber.

dukie564

nope, just Brown Dog is what i recommend.

Used by recreational jeep builders and competition rigs as well. By far the best ones out there.

Yea stock motor mounts suck, Mine only lasted the fall and winter wheeling. I installed Ironman motor mounts and they're great. pure beef!!! I recommend them.

They lift you motor 3/4" or so and helps fix driveline vibes (all lift motor mounts do). I have since threw away my tcase drop.

xjheep92

well my brown dog motor mounts should be here tomorrow

so in the mean time I cleaned my intake manifold and I'm trying to remove the stuck on parts of the old exhaust manifold gasket. any advise on getting it off? i dont want to scratch the mounting surface trying to remove left over gasket
