Post by rammit11 »

Hi, just looking for some info as to what header other members are using and what problems or other issues are being had with them. I am thinking about the banks revolver or the 304 ss rugged ridge. thanks for any and all feedback.

Why didn't it fit?

I was running a borla for 2 years was very happy with it. Recently modified it with longer secondaries and a 3" collector.
92 XJ 4D custom borla header 3" exhaust flowmaster 50series muffler.

ATK on the way then an OBD 2 swap so flyin ryan can tune.

It didn't fit with my Sprintex supercharger. It is a very nice piece. Wish it would have fit.
This is the pic of my Gibson header. The Banks hit the area of the #6 pipe. The banks it is straighter on the diagonal.

APN = ebay cheapie (available other places as well), as he said. Decent header. People seem to like them and the price is right.

Ceramic coating costs about $100 with shipping and coating when I looked into it. Well worth it for the heat protection. IDK if it will make them last any longer. I bought the ceramic coated Gibson header and my under hood temps did go down and engine temp went down about 5 degrees.

Thanks SilverXJ. That's what I wanted to know. Living in Arizona, corrosion resistance is not a big issue for me.
