headers for 87 xj
Wondering if anybody has or have found headers for the older xjs. Going to redo my entire exhaust and have only found headers for 91 and up. Will those work on mine any help is great

There is an 02 sensor bung but they moved down on the pipe right before the cat, so you have to extend the o2 sensor wire. So in a sense there is some modifying in it, and my erg tube didn't line up with the header very well, other then that I have no complaints from my pacesetter

Yeah its not the best design I agree, I was just stating it is there just further down the pipe, to clearly the 02 isnt eliminated out of the system.

Yeah mines just like the one on the video, where would you weld in the new burg to read all six? See I wish I knew what I know now back then, haha my manifold cracked and I saw it as the chance to upgrade, oh well, lessons learned.
