Benefits: smoother and increased volume of exhaust flow. The easier the motor can breathe, the more power that will be unleashed. Conversely, a cat-verter is basically a filter (a ceramic honeycomb to strip out the nasties), hence restricting air flow to some degree, decreasing power.

what about the difference between a shorty header (hookers) and longer headers? I have also seen 2 into 1 types and a tri-y design (something about connecting 2 cylinders that fire opposite eachother in the firing order). Are these all marketing scams or is one better for another application than another?
RE: i live in
here are some of the websites I've been looking at.
http://www.rocky-road.com/thorley.html (tri-y)
http://www.centuryperformance.com/jbaheaders/index.asp (shorty and something called a firecone)
http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com/jeep.htm (these look like the longer 2-into-1 type)
http://jeephorizons.com/news/edel_head_40.html (another tri-y type)
http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/ES/ESHHSCH/4WD.html (hooker headers they dont have my year but I still just looking around)
What about diameter? Should i by the largest pipes I can find, in that case i will find a way to bolt a dryer hose to my block, or can it be "too much of a good thing"
I would rather hear it from you guys,rather than each website, because you aren't trying to sell me anything(hopefully), and i can find some truth.
I am waiting for Gadget to give a lecture on this subject to confuse me even more. (jk)

RE: Help me pick a front bumper...
Really? I've only heard of the 4.0 having that problem, pretty much from everyone I've talked to, and all the websites I've read. Yeah, I've heard of a couple of the 2.5's cracking, but not like the 4.0. Not that I'm doubting you, I just haven't heard anything along those lines. That was part of my decision making process in getting the 2.5. Do you have somewhere I can go to to read about it? I like to keep up to date on things like that.

Re: RE: headers
I have the Banks Torque Tubes headers. The first set lasted about 16 months before they cracked. There was a slight performance boost, but not worth the price of the headers. There is a lot of stress at the donut gasket, where it connects to the cross over pipe.
Banks did replace the cracked headers. I had to put the replacement set on my credit card and wait for the cracked ones to get back to Banks to get the credit back on my card. And, I had to pay for shipping - both directions.
