Re: American exhaust headers

["Mark Price" <mprice@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As I've said before, The 91 up 4.0L stock tube exhaust manifold does fit the American body with no problems! Been there done that! Bought the friggin T-shirt!
:] Mine is modified to remove the original donut section and feed into 2 1/2 pipe. Stock also fits fine. Just needs a custom pipe to hook it up, Maybe. A XJ pipe may work, but I think it will hang to low.
  CJ/ Wrangler aftermarket headers usually hit the Crossmemebr and are way to low.
XJ headers may work or not, but should work unless they hang to low.
