WTF I was checking out JBA's website, for some shorty headers and they want like $928 :( . Hell for that I might as well not lower the stang and go with some Hooker Long tube. Is this true is this the real price or can I ge them some where else cheaper. :notnice:

yea you can find them cheaper, just do a little research.

are you sure you werent looking at the titanium ceramic coated ones?

and if you can, get LT's, more hp. :)

There are plenty of people with 1.5"-2" drops with long tubes. I wouldn't mess with shorties.


yup... my last gt had a 1 1/2 in drop & longtubes with no problems what-so-ever. & soon i'll have the same setup on my new one :banana: just waiting on a empty heated garage or some time to open up at my local speed shop :D

imo.... shorties are a waste, by all the dyno sheets i've seen with em :notnice: unless they are on a boosted car, then they do help, but i think the l/t's would help that much more
 
I just got off the phone with a JBA tech.

He told me that the 2v mid length headers are 2-3 months out

Not CARB certified.

Part number is 6623-S

Forgot to ask how much.
 
go to summit. they have the 409 stainless jba headers for like $525. that is not great but not horrible. that $900000 price is jba's price. I don't know who would pay that.

I will stay with shorties because I don't want to have to mess with my headers to do tranny or clutch work. I know the hookers alow for this but I just did not like the look of them. personal opinion.
 
Probably the best price I've seen on JBA Headers is on www.hopupracing.com. Granted, it is a predominantly ricer "performance" website, but they have silver ceramic coated headers from JBA for $581.00. I did a yahoo search for JBA headers and clicked on everything that came up and stopped when I found this one (I'm getting my set this weekend or early next week).

Where did you get your from? Are the Mac shorty headers anygood? I just want to go with shorties b/c of my prochamber. It keeps coming loose from the drivers side, and it sound like metal on metal rattling when I get on it?? So I thought if I could could get some headers it would fix this problem. :bang:
 
MRT has the new JBA midlength headers with a matching SS shorty H-pipe. The JBA midlengths are suppose to produce good power (probably not as much as long tubes, but close). The benefit is clutch/tranny access.

Hooker has a great product & tranny access. However, I've heard 5 people complain about leaks because of the "slip-fit" design. Granted, thats only 5 complaints with many others happy.

mac doesn't make shorties for the 4.6. they did testing on them & since they didn't make any power they decided not to make them. so longtubes it was :D
 
I got my JBA shorties(the chrome ones) for $379 at performancecenter.com They were having a sale and I got lucky - their normal price is $439 I think. Hope that helps.

Partsshopper (this site) has them for $479 or $499 if I recall correctly. Always nice to send some business to the guy who runs this forum for us for free. Whenever possible buy here - I do.
