Hi,
I'm diving into my first major DIY mod on my 1997 Cherokee SE. i've been living with a cracked exhaust header for years, and I'm ready to replace. I've searched a lot of great threads on this site for how to do the replacment, but I can't find much on what header to buy. A couple of questions the experts might answer to help me downselect.
First, what's the advantage of a ceramic coated header? Why would I pay for this?
Second, seems like I can spend a lot of money on a Gibson or a Borla header, or about half the price on an APN. I'm going to stick with my stock cat-back system. What's the reliability of the APN's in comparison with the Gibsons or the Borlas?
Seems like an important factor in durability is mounts. I had mine replaced at about 100K, and am now at about 170k (mostly road driving the last 30k). Should I be worried about replacing these again?
Any advice is appreciated!
