Title: 2.4L Exhaust Manifold
Post by: rubberducky on January 06, 2009, 12:57:16 PM

I've got a 05tj 2.4L and my manifold is cracked. Like three or four between cyl 2, 3, 4. its pretty sweet. There is a rice burner shop down here that i talked to, and they said they found a header and it was like 280 from rugged ridge. But i went up tp order it and i was getting one for mine and my brothers jeep. The price went to $800 some how. and then they could not find the part number again. So i said forget that, does anyone know of an aftermarket one or do i have to go to the dealership.

Rugged Ridge is just a marketing brand like Steel Horse and now Smittybilt.  Very few of their items are made by them.

I don't think you'll find much of anything for headers for the '03-'06 2.4L though.

I doubt i'll find one, but these really smart guys said they found one and was just wondering if anyoone knew. anonther question, i noticed for the 2.5 people switch the injectors. Are they similar for the 2.4L

I've noticed that with my 2.4L it is hard to find ANYTHING aftermarket at all.   However, if I search for 2.4L Liberty....I can get some information.     Mostly though, you have to search for PT Crapper or SRT-4 stuff.    It really sucks.   The little 2.4 can go once up to speed but it has nothing for balls down low.     I think they should have put the d35 with the 4.56gears in the stick 2.4 instead of the auto.
