Howdy! You should check out RockAuto.com. They have great prices and probably have just what you're looking for. I hope that helps ya.
First of all welcome to Xj talk! A couple questions first! What do want to do with it? Is is going to be a daily driver? Is it going to be an off road jeep or a little of both? A descent upgrade that is cheap is the 99+ manifold. They are known to have better air flow and they give you a 10 - 15 hp gain.

Its going to be a daily driver until my truck gets fixed
Well if your going to upgrade the intake you have to upgrade the exhaust to right!

What is your goal ?? Flue economy? Horse power?

Yep I'm trying to put a decent off road rig together its already has a lift and 33s, I want power and so the 99 manifold is the way to go? I'm looking to add around 50 hp but try to do it under 600. I'm trying to upload a pic of it but can't on my phone.
You will have trouble gaining 50 hp with that kind of money. The 99-00 intake will get you about 10% and that is your best investment. Not a lot of speed parts for the 4.0

And a bunch of other stuff
Agreed

I put a 99 intake on my new 4.0L. Got it from ebay for 100.
Down pipe, catalytic converter and muffler I got from Amazon.
The only part of the exhaust I haven't changed is from the back of the muffler out.
The stock exhaust is 2.25" so i would step up to 2.5" for a small boost. And if the '99+ intake works, its a great mod (hope to do it myself). Not sure that it would though since yours has the older throttle body, so you would need to use the newer one and i don't know enough about converting the electronics on it to have the info for you. But if it does pair that with a bored throttle body, bigger injectors, and an intake tube you should see a noticeable difference.

I picked up a FM40 series 2.5" cat back from Rusty's off road for my 98, and loved the sound and ease of install.. I also picked up a direct replacement cat from Auto Zone, and it was a quick install and would have been even easier if I had done it at the time of the exhaust install.. Keep your eyes open at local PNP's and local Jeep forums for a 99+ IM, I ended up picking one up for pretty cheap with a spare TB off of my local Jeep club forum..

DOING SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOUR BUDDY DOES IT THAT WAY MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS SHARING TOOTHBRUSHES
I'm running a Gibson exhaust, 50 bucks at the junk yard... Wicked score stainless steel and everything!
