So, at the recommendation of several people in this forum and in a couple other Jeep forums, I purchased a set of Kooks headers from eBay. These long tube headers and midpipes are built for the...

That's an article in which they replace the stock cam in a 5.7 Hemi from a junkyard. They mention that there are...
Hi all!
It's been a while since I've posted anything in here, and my cursory search of the forum didn't turn up the answer to my question.
Backstory (skip to the next paragraph if you think this...
If you're curious about the patch job on my faux leather seat, it was pretty easy.
I picked up a 3M Vinyl and Leather Repair Kit from AutoZone for about $20. I can't remember exactly how much it...
By the way, I also have been having an issue with my rear lift glass randomly opening. It would happen at irregular intervals whenever all the doors were unlocked. It was as if I was hitting the...
Most definitely!
So when I bought my WK, I noticed that there was a paint chip in the driver's door. It looks like something was in the way and the door was shut. Either that, or it was some type...
So it turns out that it wasn't my rear diff at all, thank God. My e-brake shoes and pads came loose and got jammed up between the regular pads and the rotor. I don't know which side it was on, but I...
Thanks. It was a big surprise to me, to say the least. I love that truck almost as much as I love my dog, so I'm pretty worried about it.
They own a scrap yard, so hopefully I can get replacement...
And then this happens:

The shops thinks (and, reluctantly, I agree) that my rear diff has broken. When...
Sorry, I've been working 12-hour days most of this week. Hopefully I can get a vid tomorrow. I keep meaning to do it, I promise!
Not a bad idea. Nevertheless, I'm going to take it to the shop tomorrow and see what they think would work. I plan to get a quote for headers and, out of curiosity, a quote for a heads-on cam swap.

Question: I've heard of some people getting Durango headers (shorties or logs) to fit on their 05 WK Hemi. Is there any credibility to that claim? I've found a set of 2005 Durango 5.7 Gibson logs for...
They stayed an hour and a half past closing to finish it, so I think their give-a-damn might have been operating at half power, lol.

Yeah, nobody's perfect. I won't raise a stink unless they try to charge me to fix something they broke. Judging by their reputation, though, that isn't going to happen.
Plus, the lady who works the...
So, on my way home last night my CEL came on. I read the code this morning: P0430 Catalyst efficiency below threshold Bank 2. Arggh. Fortunately, the shop is pretty sure it's their fault and they'll...
Yep! The shop owner mentioned that specifically, in fact. He said that he did indeed match the lengths.
Normally, I take the company vehicle home during the week, but I'm itching to drive my Jeep...
So sorry for the delay! Here are a few pics, vid to come...
Here you can see the demarcation between the stock cats and the new pipes. It's not really visible, but they deleted the y-pipe.

It was a real treat compared to the stock exhaust!
Since New England hasn't gotten the memo that it's spring, we just got a fresh blanket of snow. Still, I hope to post at least some pics tomorrow,...
Yeah, I just did a bit of Googling on the topic. Looks like you can even squeeze a few more horsepower out of your engine with an X-pipe. It makes sense, too; there'd be less backpressure on the...
I agree, but he didn't do a DI/DO, he put a single 50 on each pipe. Either he misunderstood me or he figured this way was better. You'll see what I mean when I finally post some pics. I believe I owe...
So, here's what I have: a very stock 05 WK Limited with a 5.7L Hemi. Pretty sharp looking ride, with the exception of a tear in the driver's seat and a little paint missing from the edge of the...
I'll keep that in mind for my next mod, thanks. 😊

Hahaha, I sound like my dad more and more each day. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Yeah, I found a set of OBX headers on eBay for $555, with the midpipes and resonators. I wonder how easily they could hook up to my true duals...
