my header is all cracked up and sounds like crap so i was surfing summit and saw hooker's entry in the 4.0l market. so what do y'all think?

to me it looks like it'll hit the engine mounts. personally i'm leaning towards either the banks torque tube or 1 of the torque tube knock offs. none of any of the other designs seem to even make an attempt at tuning the primaries but what do i know


what did y'all use and how's it working out? mine's finally running on the megasquirt 3 system i built and damn this motor kicks much ass. it'll spin the 35's i'm running even with the 4.10 gears i have although i'm still kinda babying it since my drive shaft is the current weak link in the rear. next on my list is removing all the fusible links and putting in an actual engine bay fuse box that i swiped out of a 94 cherokee

Looking at the pic it looks like you'd have to rework the head pipe too??, personally I'm CHEAP and wouldn't give you $470 for that header even if you had documented proof that it alone would produce 500hp? :huh:
I'm on the third header in my Jeep, the second I gave full retail for a "stock" replacement form Dorman, the third I gave $40 for from the junk yard, I don't know the manufacturer?, it looks identical to the Dorman.

ive been trying to find a suitable header as well, and while these look promising, they definitely do NOT look like a true bolt on affair. while I dont mind having to build a downpipe, I would like to be sure im getting my moneys worth, and Im not going to run into clearance issues.

I have a ceramic Gibson on '98 and a 'revolver' clone on '99, pleased with both.
