I just ordered mine, and had one more question... Has anyone had any experiences with painting one of these? I am more interested in preventing corrosion than I am in the looks, and obviously you would want to go with a high temperature primer and paint. Given the nature of the exhaust and the temperatures involved, will a high temperature paint stay put? Will it stick to this particular stainless steel alloy?

I cleaned mine with brake cleaner, scrubbing it with a 3m pad with the cleaner.
After it dried I sprayed it with aluminum color high temp paint (just for headers). Then baked it in the household oven per instructions (450 degrees for 60 minutes ?). Then installed it. 3 years later no corrosion and most the paint is still there.

Wow way to bring back a dead thread!
Also your link just takes us to the banks section not a specific part.

not spam, but his link was pointed to a general parts page
btw, my APN cracked and has been replaced with a bellows style - bastards refused to replace it under warranty

So after 5 years of abuse my APN also cracked in many places. Any thoughts by anyone? I was looking a the TJ Rugged Ridge torque tube which would then need a Y pipe to the down pipe. But it seems to be the highest flow and with the two into 1 design, the cracks should not occur (more give with long Y design, more bends to relieve stress in the actual tubes).
Anyone try and do they fit?
They are also listed for a WJ GC so seems to be compatible for 1996 ZJ (motor mounts in particular).
