My 88 Yj has its original engine (2.5L) and all nothing has ever been replaced. It gets about 8 mpg i had found that the header was loose and cracked if i replace it how much mpg improvement can i expect if any. And any sugjestions on what brand replacements are best?

So you are the person that asked about increasing the mileage eh?
You 'really' should have mentioned the Jeep was broken. 8 mpg is a seriously dead engine.
If you use a light foot and stay under 70 mph, you should at least get as good a mileage as my 86 CJ7 with the 258 6 cylinder engine. I get 23 US mpg.
After you repair the header, I recommend an oil and filter change, new plugs, distributor cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter and plug wires. Then come back and ask the question again after checking the mileage.
