I put a rugged ridge header on, It works just fine. You might look into replacing the headpipe just behind the header too. After I put my header on my engine ran really rough until I replaced the head pipe with one that doesnt have the huge factory dent in it. just FYI.

You can use the later model headers if you do 2 things. One, is have the EGR bung welded on to the new header. Two, is use a later model headpipe and have on O2 sensor bung welded on to it.

I trust ya then. I had just heard of people having firewall clearance. You have to also plug the egr for the pace setter also unless you want to run a new pipe for it.
