TJ headpipe in a YJ

<< < (2/4) > >>

PaulW:
so did it fit?

kirksjeep:
It fits in my garage ;),  I havn't had time to put it in with the XJ project and working on my Pop up camper.  I'll get it in before the next trail ride.

PaulW:
sweet

I started this conversion today.  I un-bolted the YJ pipe and pulled it out, cut the cat off of the TJ pipe and then everything else was down hill from there >:(.  The flange that bolts to the manifold was a differnt so I cut the flang off of both and tacked the YJ one onto the TJ pipe.  Then the angle to go around the front of the oil pan was WAY off.  I cut the TJ pipe just before the mini-cat and started modifing it to fit.  I made about 10 slices to make the bend and had to add about 2 1/2" of straight pipe to make it work.  I am about 90% done with this first part, but decided to break since welding and grinding in the heat sucks. 

I know that when looking for a stock head pipe the 91-92 versions are differnt, and I am not 100% sure why, but I am thinking it has to do with the anlge of the manifold exit.  This is definitly going to be much harder then I expected.

aww booo! you were so excited about it earlier too. I'm sure you will get the job done though.
