I've got a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and currently I have a full 2.5 inch system (including the cat).

I plan on ordering these headers...

http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-pe...l-headers.html

My question is does anyone know what the outlet size is? I'm hoping it might be 2.5 inch but there's a chance it could be 2.25.

Any input is appreciated!

 

its probably the same as stock. you can get knock offs of those for about half that price on ebay. i've seen ones with larger outlets that come with a new downpipe for the 00-01 but theyre much more $$.. forgot the brand tho.

 

Well, I'm not dead set on the Flow Daddy headers, I'm open to anything anyone has to suggest. It's just tough finding headers for the 00-01 model Cherokees. I think that anything from a TJ would probably fit but I'm not 100% sure.

Anyhow, if anyone has any better suggestions for headers (and down pipe?) I'm definitely open to hearing them.

 

IMO if Rustys sells them I wouldn't trust them

 

Banks!!?? More money though

 

Flow daddy is a rustys brand,If you don't mind some grinding http://www.ineedparts.com/apn-jeep-e...-manifold.html search on here on where you gotta grind to get it to fit.Or http://www.quadratec.com/products/17604_11X_PG.htm i believe the picture is wrong tho.

 

He has a 00 with precats. So the APN won't mate up.

 

Id say banks or i believe borla makes one for pre cats.

 

Seems like a lot of people don't like Rusty's. May I ask why? I've never ordered from them before personally.

Anyhow, I've checked out the Banks Torque Tube headers for the 00-01 Cherokee which you can see here...

Compare that to the Rusty's Flow Daddy headers here...

Do these things not look identical to you? They do to me... One of them (Banks) is just marked up substantially.

 

Every part I have ordered from rustys has failed in a relatively short period due to poor quality. Not to mention outrageous shipping prices and poor customer service unless your buying.


Leaf springs on my Yj failed after a week. Metal impuritys they snapped on my first trip out. It took months to get replacements by then I was running RE.

On my Tj the tierod wallowed out where the ends screw in within a month. They would not warranty cause the bar was not bent.

Rusty is a *****

 

Thanks for the info! I'm glad I asked before I ordered. I definitely won't be ordering anything from Rusty's then in that case! I'll probably just go with the Banks headers unless I can find something comparable for a cheaper price.

 

Banks makes great stuff.

 

That's what im using on my 00 xj. They have great customer service and lifetime warranty

 

How do you like the Banks headers on your 2000? Any noticeable difference in power or noise?

With a lifetime warranty and good customer service it's worth paying the extra money so I'll just go the Banks route. Last thing I need is cracked headers!

 

Its good. I will take it any day over some rustys trash. I have the torquetube header that runs into their banks "monster muffler " (straight through) . That setup paired with the 4.6l stroker results in spontaneous yeeeehaaaww when the skinny pedal is applied. Lol
