Here is a pic of the new 4-door Wrangler. I've been wanting another Cherokee. I'd only give up my current Cherokee, for something very similar to it. The Liberty doesn't do it. The GC is too nice, and the Commander is absurd. I'd consider this though...

Same thing happened to me about a month ago on my 98.

I'll take some pics now while everything is cool, but I won't be able to get them up here until tomorrow at the earliest. Thanks for the help.

OK, the Borla header and downpipe are installed on the XJ along with the Gibson exhaust. The downpipe is resting on the T-case crossmember and is dangerously close to the front u-joint. I can hear it hitting something (or something hitting it) occasionally while moving, usually in a turn. Has...

I have the JET stage 1 chip with a 98. My fuel guage is wacky, too. I also get the 463 error code you mentioned, but it does not cause my Check Engine light to come on. When they checked your codes, did you have them cleared with the scanning tool? If you take the JET chip off, does the light...

I'm not sure why Skyjacker has such a bad name around here. My only issue with it is the ride is a bit harsh, but such is the nature of lifting an XJ. If my lift has sagged, I can't detect it. I do have the the Skyjacker LCAs and the tracbar re-locater.

I have a 3" Skyjacker on my 98 and it is a bit rough. I think it has actually gotten harsher over the years. I have no vibes. I did end up buying Rusty's crossmember with 1" T-Case drop. But I put that on a few years after the lift.

My Borla header showed up today! I have to wait until next Tuesday when the Gibson exhaust arrives before it will be put on though. Woot!

Next week I'll be getting both Borla and Gibson installed on my 98. Borla header and Gibson exhaust. This solves multiple problems for me. Borla includes a downpipe with their header. Gibson and others do not. But Gibson is a quieter exhaust and exits to the side rather than out the back. This...

Ok, thanks. Got it. Mine does not have this pre-cat bulge that you are speaking of. I believe mine was a very early 98 model. I ordered in in October 97 and took delivery in November. Thanks for clearing this up.

Do you mean a pre-cat O2 sensor? Mine definitely has one in the downpipe. If I replace the downpipe with the Borla piece thus removing the O2 sensor won't the check engine light be on all the time? Is there any other downside to doing this?

Another thing to consider is that generally people post about bad experiences with dealerships because it is frustrating to deal with them sometimes, but rarely do people post about good experiences with dealerships. Having said that, most of my dealings with dealerships have been less than...

bump

Before I plunk down the cash, I wanted to absolutley sure I'm getting the right part. I am wanting to get the Borla header for my 98 Classic. Banks or another high quality part would be accepted if it included the downpipe. My understanding is that only Borla includes it. I know it could be...

There was a thread (that I started) a few days ago about this. There is no downpipe available from Banks for any year XJ. I called and spoke to them about this. I'm going Borla because of this. Interesting note: Banks insisted that the reason they don't offer a downpipe is that they do not feel...
