Borla Headers for 98 TJ - Need advice
 

I'm thinking of replacing my stock-cracked-POS exhaust manifold with a
set of Borla Headers (PN: 17127). From what I can gather from reading
on the subject is that 17127 is a more-or-less drop-in replace for the
exhaust manifold, and PN 17236 re-routes a bit and requires a bit more
work.

I have been searching the web for the best price on these and keep
finding a low price on a bunch of websites that look identical such as
(prices vary from $400 to $450)

http://www.borladirect.com
http://www.canadianautopart.com
http://www.fasterthanthem.com

My questions are:

1. Are these sites a scam?
2. Has anyone dealt with any of these sites successfully?
3. Where is the cheapest place to get Borla Headers from these days?
Crutchfield and Quadratec are all in the $500+ range. I'd rather pay
closer to $400, but don't want to get rooked.

Any ideas?

4wd Hardware is $500+ as well...
By the way, from 'cracked manifold' I'm guessing a 4.0L? What year?

It's a 1998 4.0L Automatic ...

Although I'm enjoying my Jeep sounding like a ski-doo, I think it's
time to fix the problem.

Re: Borla Headers for 98 TJ - Need advice
 

IIRC, the auto will need some sort of linkage adjustment.

I dunno if 'I' would trust those other sites, but others may disagree
with me.
You may want to check out www.pirate4x4.com - go to the forums, either
look through the 'bad seller' forum, or just ask there if anyone's dealt
with these sites. A lot more people hang out there, and a lot more
people willing to try anything to save a buck...
