Default Replacing manifold with header

looking into getting a header, i think i gotta leak or i bent my stock manifold. figured its time to upgrade to a header. been looking around and found banks, but god damn are they pricey. anyone have any suggestions other than banks that aint so expensive? need something thatll handle offroad. i know too replace the motor mounts at the same time. anything else would be appreciated. for a 2000 4.0

just found this on rustys...

I would not get anything from Rustys !

Crazy high shipping, Lack of customer service when needing parts warranted, everything Ive ordered from them has failed relatively fast

Go Banks !

Banks is a great option. APN header from ineedparts.com is also a fantastic option when on a budget

The APN header will work on the 2000 Cherokee with some slight modifications. There's a thread on it on the NAXJA forums (and on here as well I think) that explain what needs to be done. It's actually really simple though.

Like everyone in this thread said however, avoid Rusty's at all cost. If you have the money go with a Banks header as they make one for the 00-01 Cherokee. There may be a few other manufacturers as well. Basically from what I understand if it fits a TJ it will fit a 00-01 XJ.
