JBA headers
Anyone have any experience with the JBA shorty headers? I read an article on the GTO application and the results were impressive. Am considering for my 03 z mostly stock.

I put them on my 04 GTO. Never got to verify HP from the JBA's alone. I also added LS6 heads and LS6 cam. The combo added ~66 rwhp with a tune. They were not much louder then stock. I should have hot the ceramic coated ones to reduce temps. I melted a couple plug wires.

I installed a set on a 02 Camaro Z28....and could noktice that the car had beter throttle responce sounded a bit better and my
SOTP dyon said it seemed diffrent....Ive raced bikes and flown planes so I trust my SOTP dyno to tell me when somthing is "diffrent" it would be tough to definitavely say how much better it was....but I got the set used ...nearly 1/2 price....

I was considering the JBA shorty headers too. Still on the fence.
I have not found any local vettes with them.
I can only add that since JBA is local, I know several people who swear by them. They consider them very knowledgeable and their products top notch.
Of course JBA is a major mustang tuner and these opinions came from Mustang owners...
