Does anybody know an alternative to the Doug Thorley Header for a 2000 WJ? I've tried searching but only get ZJ info. I can't really afford
$500-$700 for a header.

There are a few out there when I searched google last. I just searched header companies and found a few. The cheapest is APN header. Its a "banks" copy. And can be had for a little over $100.

Yeah it looks like a deal, but mine cracked with in a couple of months. There used to be a banner ad on JeepForum about a factory type manifold replacement that has expansion joints on #1 and #6 runners. And that one is supposed to last a long time.

I just got one like that off of ebay like this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-HEADER-cherokee-wrangler-comanche_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c6 6Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1308QQ_trksidZp32 86Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem190261516211QQitemZ1902615 16211) but the chick was not included :D

I replaced my real Banks that had cracked 2 separate times and this last one it was cracked in 4 places!!:mad: This ebay manifold works fine with the 99+ intake manifold also with NO cleanrance issues. Yeah it's not a header but it not all bad either! plus it has the same thick mounting face that the banks did and has a 2 1/4" outlet like the Banks. Beware that some others out there have a 2" outlet! don't get those!
