Banks. Pacesetter is crap.

Made of thin material. Fit is never quite right. They are cheap. Like buying a cheap set of heddman headers. They will need work to make em fit right and the will rust really bad and eventually crack. Also the flanges where they attach to the head and the head pipe are thin and will warp.

Yeah, they're thin. Mine fit perfectly. The most work was pounding the downpipe on because they don't fit perfectly but mine's all sealed up. I stripped and repainted mine. So far no problems for me and LOTS of improvement! I can go up hills and keep it in overdrive.

Will a 95 4.0 wrangler header fit a 98 jeep cherokee 4.0? It looks like a dual exhaust set up, is there a way to connect them?

All 4.0 HOs are the same, so theoretically yes. The down pipe is a 2 into 1 and on wranglers the pipe goes forward around the oil pan, I believe.

So would it fit? I'm still confused on the 2 pipes. Is there an adapter I could get?

Alright, this is what I want you to do. go here, to rock auto. Select jeep, 2000, wrangler, 4.0, exhaust, and pipe. This, I'm pretty sure, will work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!!!

i just checked on there and all the part numbers are the same, i believe what you have is an aftermarket conversion to a dual exhaust system.

Hmm. I wonder if those dual to single exhaust pipes from rockauto would line up with my exhaust system.
