I am sure this subject has come up plenty, but never hurts to look for more feedback. I am in the process of looking for a header for my custom 4.9 stroker. It will have a 264 duration cam and ported heads to match the cam. I was going to go with Clifford, but I am not certain they still make their header for the 4.0l because I am not able to order them off their website. I have sent many e-mails, but I have not heard back from Larry at Clifford regarding this.
Now I am back looking for a good header match for this engine. I currently have Borla, on my somewhat stock 4.0, but it eventually cracked due to worn out motor mounts (not to mention the header blew the O2 bunge while driving on the highway). So I am not going to go with Borla on this new engine. I am looking at JBA (with titanium ceramic coating), Banks (for the 2000 up XJ), and Doug Thorley's ceramic coated header with the 1-5/8" primaries (I am leaning towards this one).
Does anyone have any thoughts on the above headers?
Inquiring minds want to know.

And yes, I will be replacing the worn out motor mounts with M.O.R.E mounts.
