Headers

99lbxj · Sep 26, 2015

Is there a difference between the 98 xj headers to 99 xj headers. Reason I asked is because I just purchased some banks headers and in the description says jeep xj 96-98 and I own a 99 xj hope I don't have to return them.

Link for the one I bought

Thanks in advance.

That link says 91-99. I have seen where mfg's say their header will fit through 99 1/2, but I have a late 99 and I don't see any difference between mine and the earlier years.

That's for the wrangler. For the xj it says 96-98

Missed that.

Here is one that is listed for a 91-99.

I think you will be fine.

*EDIT* If you have the later style intake, you may have a clearance issue on #6 tube. Nothing that a file on the bottom of the intake won't fix.

Thanks for the help

sometimes the problem is number and location of o2 sensors, that header doesn't have any so you might need to weld a bung on your down pipe

In my experience, HO up to 99 has the O2 sensor in downpipe anyhow.

I would think the only issue would be the pre-cat setup in the 99-01. That's the only exhaust difference I can think of.
