It did make a noticeable difference, in power and MPG, in my opinion. I mostly like the way it sounds and that it has taken some hard shots on the trail and survived and, so far, no sign of rust on mine....it's been on my XJ for just over a year.

It's definitely an opinion, thang. My wife says it's too loud and I should grow up but, I like it.

You can hear it at highway speed but, you can still hold a conversation inside without yelling. So, it's all good.

None... I just know Perf. Dist. has pretty good stuff, we used to use their DUI set up and a few street stocks and mid-am's...
Stroked Jeep is just cool in general...
Jeep Thing, and Perf. Parts are just kinda search of crap kinda things for me...

if I use a 99+ manifold, can I still use my injectors and throttle body? or do I have to use those from a 99+ also?
