i did one of these also, but be careful not to wrap the thing, have seen a few guys have issues with welds cooling faster than the rest and cracking, i used a high heat header paint, worked reall well. __________________ MY happy place is dark, so YOU cant see the scary things! My Pics and Specs

its been on for about 2 or 3k miles now. I used a high heat header paint, did several light coats and made sure to get everything evenly coated. not sure of the brand. it would have been duplicolor or krylon. flat black by the way. the bolts none were a pain in the a$$ did the install with engine not in jeep

Yes it can be done. You have to modify one of the mounting holes though.
