Default Re: jba headers (pinoy vette)

Hello Pinoy,
When I was looking for a set of shorty headers, I looked at the JBA's.
Compared to the other manufacturers', they were fairly cheap looking and poorly made (IMHO). They are not equal length headers either, so they probaply won't give you much hp gains. For shorty headers, the B&B triflows seem to be of the utmost quality; equal length, tuned, T-304 stainless, and fairly easy to install. Spend the extra cash and buy the better quality.
You get what you pay for.

:iagree: If you are getting headers, get long tubes. Not much HP gain with shorties on a vette. Lots of threads here regarding merits of various brands. Look at Kooks, LGMs, etc.
