In the recent past my 2000 Wrangler with a 4 banger in it blew up. So now I have the privilege of fixing her up. I am sure I will get facepalms and headshakes but, I am putting another 4 back in it. It's already in the shed, waiting to be modded and put in where the existing one is.
I read a Jeep mod post a couple days ago here stating that all the mods done to it didn't make a lick of difference in power. However, I do want to give it a shot anyway, seeing as how the 4 cylinder will drop right back in, and right now I can spend a little money.
So, without further conversation, I'd like to start off with the first replacement. The headers, I've searched quadratec, jcwhitney, summit racing, and other places across the net and still haven't found much for the 4 cylinder! There are tons and tons of headers for the 6 but almost nothing for the 4. I did however come across this...

I was wondering if you some of you more knowledgeable guys could tell me if that will fit on my Wrangler? I know it read 97-98 but maybe was hoping that the years wouldn't make that much of a difference? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) But this is the first thing I'd like to change is the headers on the motor then work into the rest of the exhaust... I have a list in front of me for the rest of the stuff I am going to replace.
