no one has 5.2 or 5.9 headers????

smittybuiltZJ · Mar 17, 2010

i also would like some reviews and possibly install picks for those, ive been wanting to do it as well. but have concerns about clearance..

Look for Doug Thorley headers. They are pretty popular with the ZJ crowd.

i know that i want to see if anyone has gotten a pair of the stainless ones for under $200 and put them on. i have seen some on i think a durango and i am confident they will fit, i'd just really like to see it first before i order some

Dont waste your money. They wont fit. The only two sets of headers that will fit the ZJ are the Doug Thorleys and the Edelbrock headers. Thats it.

I have the edelbrock ceramic coated stainless headers and y pipe. Think I paid around $650.00 for them. Been running them for about two years and coating looks almost new. Great fit, pleanty of clearance all around. Soon as I figure out how to post pics I will do so.

BTW, they are on my 98 zj 5.9

Ok, it's 3:30 am on st Patrick's day and i'm smashed, but to answer Op's question however I'm going to say go to speedfreaks.net, and take any post by ringwraith as gospel. Pretty much any of the $200 headers will fit but they'll involve frame cutting - at least on one side. Kolak says that you can get the majority of the benefit of headers by replacing the crushed y pipe section with some mandrel bent tubing. Sounds logical to me. I don't speak from any physical experience however it must be added. Anyway, back to the Pillsner ahah ye ye.

I run the doug thorley headers, with a 3" pipe all the way to the rear. Best setup you can buy for the ZJ. The dough thorleys have a 3" collector where as the edelbrocks have a 2.5" IIRC

17441 · Mar 20, 2010

According to thorleys own web site the jgc headers only have 2 1/2 inch collectors though they do look to be a better design than the edelbrock setup. Just not to sure if that justifies the extra $400. Dollars.

do the headers have to be for a jeep or will any dodge/mopar headers fit?

zacharykro · Apr 4, 2010

it seems to be agreed upon that Ram and Durango headers will not bolt on w/o modifications. effin shame too

bought these Eddy's off the local Kijiji for $250 , sweet deal never used .

I have since bought a new high flow cat , and just need to pick a new muffer to install on the 5.9

someone has to post a pic

compare them to the durango set

robinsonfam1 · Jul 10, 2010

93 manies seem to be the best flowing manifolds that are comparable to basic headers. not as good but for the price and being a direct bolt on its the easiest most affordable option. from there: replace y-pipe, high flow cat and muffler, replace tail. go no less than 2.5" all the way.
