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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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
