[@mikemike7397]

Thank you for the most detail oriented removal and installation tutorial I’ve seen yet. Makes it easy. You gotta subscriber.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Awesome, thank you!

That coffee was straight milk lol, that being said... nice Jeep bro

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Randi makes the coffee - Me it's always the instant stuff.

FOLLOW UP: We have replace the muffler with a quiet flow do to the loud drone sound on trails. The header is still holding up well and no leaks.

[@teop7887]

I'm on my second Borla (the first one actually cracked) Awesome sound 😁

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I had to pull the Caddi off because of the heat issue through the floor. It melted the carpet. Other then that it's all good.

[@buddymartin7923]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still runs squirrel power under my hood!! Have you geared your yj?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We still have the stock gears. It has always done well off road when its in low. This time around I went to 31s and it made good highway speeds. Good as in over 60mph.

[@your2nd]

You're suppose to use both those gaskets ; why do you think they gave it to you? The thick gasket makes the header stand out from the head so the shared bolts and clamp washer are on a level plane; your header will leak now as it's not properly installed.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

They only sent one gasket, the one I used was a upgraded gasket that covers the header and intake. So far no leaks or burns.

[@randyjangles4102]

The 1995 2.5l wrangler doesn't have a flange to bolt up to the catalytic converter. It's a slip joint from the factory

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thank you for the info. For now I pulled the converter, it was melting the carpet.

[@brianchristenson6055]

Great vid. Thx

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thank you very much. Appreciate you watching.

[@naturehunters7254]

The link in the description does not work anymore. Can you possibly comment another link? And has it rusted at all?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I have seen that. There might be another company selling them.

[@frank341231]

Cool and good video, thanks! I actually have a 2.5L XJ, and I'm trying to do everything as I can to help power and gas mileage. Have you noticed any changes in your jeep after the header install? Is it a little better? Please let me know!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Mainly, its louder. A little more power but not too much. The intake had a crack so it was needed. I have installed a quieter muffler and removed the kat. The head melted the carpet. The biggest change was dropping down to 31s. Eventually I will change the gears and go back to 33s.

[@stonedk9432]

Did the throttle body spacer help? Thinking of running one on mine but dont wanna spend the money if it's a waste of time

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes it did help. Every little bit counts, gears would be the best.

[@isaiahyjsmith2372]

Do you think this header will fit my 88 2.5l is the engine size the same? Cause they don’t make these for my year Yj

[@FloridaJeepRides]

That I am not sure of, if you could find a 2.5L and measure the distance it might help. I had to drill the header to get to bolt up any way.

[@christopherzeekee1225]

@@FloridaJeepRides did yo drill all three holes or just the far back one

[@FloridaJeepRides]

@@christopherzeekee1225 I drilled the front to start, then what ever did not fit. Hope that helps. It is still holding up and did help with a little more power.

[@brianmorgan8602]

HOW MUCH DID THE HESDER HELP?

[@julianmerino1102]

Any retuning now without the cat? I see there were 2 02 sensor holes. 1 in the end of the header and end of three down pipe

[@FloridaJeepRides]

What do you mean returning? I will have to check to see if they were even open, I believe they came with plugs. The catalytic converter got so crazy hot. It started to melt the carpet and the floor mat started smoking. I took it out for now.

[@steveblankenship2413]

was thinking of putting a header on wifes 94 2.5 , but that sucks its not a direct bolt on, did it wake it up any ?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

It's still working - The YJ is getting passed on to my oldest son and he loves it.

[@steveblankenship2413]

drill out intake while its off for a larger thottle body ???

[@steveblankenship2413]

@@FloridaJeepRides i have not did it yet, iam waiting for when i have to take it off and can grind it out with intake off, so i dont get shavings down in intake

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Done

[@claysmith894]

amazon links are broken. is there a model name you purchased?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Looks like they are not selling them currently. I cant even find one from another brand. Summet racing may have one that fits. www.summitracing.com/

[@dunlapmichaell]

My 4 cyl 97 YJ is loud enough with stock muffler and exhaust! lol

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I hear you.... no pun intended.

[@bugman34202]

Just a thought... How about some exhaust sealer and tape to fix the problem ?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

That would have worked. Looking back I thing when it gets time to change, I will quiet things down a bit.

[@19cherokee91]

Hey fellow jeeper I'm looking at that very header for my xj but I need to get studs just to hang the header do you know thw tread pitch in the head

[@19cherokee91]

Well that's nice but the jack ass I got the truck from replaced the motor and never put them back

[@19cherokee91]

@@FloridaJeepRides that Why I asked what's the tread pitch so in can pick 2 studs up

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I think I just took the old ones to Napa and they got what I needed.

[@onlyoneromeo]

Any difference in drivability?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Not too much. It fixed the manifold leak and sounds a little better.
