What made you choose that kit over others?

Auto-X and Road Circuits are similar only in that they are the polar opposite of 'Drag Racing' Most everything else differs from the type of tyres/brakes you use all the way to driving technique. While Road Racing may be cost prohibitive to almost everyone, my experience says it's much more...

Good news to report: I picked up the car yesterday after having the JBA Headers done, Steeda Pullies installed, an oil Change and a set of dyno runs. Mike and Jason at TPS were very personable, knowledgable and even though this was my first visit to their shop, trustworthy. It took a little...

I'm bitting the bullet, got the JBA headers (Thanks AM!) Giving TPS motorsports a try in Campbell, ca. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm also putting on a set of underdrive pullies I've had lying around for a year now. Hopefully that and the headers will make some impact. Question...

Sparta, it's not that I'm a longtube hater or something. I would have given in and put them on a long time ago if it were somehow feasible in my state. I mean come on, this is really the first downside I've ever had that I can directly link to my living in California. I'm faced with 2...

Right, but Long Tubes aren't smog legal, they wont pass a visual inspection (not in California at least). Even these Shorty headers aren't CARB legal if your car was built sometime after mid-2006. So it would either be somewhere between $8-900 to get the one side replaced. Or $11-1200 to get...

Alright, I'm looking at the JBA shorty Cat4ward headers. They are actually cheaper than the stock manifolds and installation looks to be about the same. Since my car is an 06, they are considered CARB legal down here in the litigious state of CA. I guess cars built after that they are...

Streethorse, You're absolutely right, only the one side is leaking. However, it looks like 90% of the cost of this repair is going to be getting at the necessary bolts. I'm just thinking to myself, if it happened to one side, what could the likelihood be of it happening to the other...

Alright, I can't make heads or tails of this. I've called 3 different Ford Dealerships and received 3 very different prices for the SAME service. Apparently, I am in need of part no: 9L3Z9448A Around $15 But the cost of installation varies significantly. Walnut Creek Ford (closest)...

Now got a call back from another Ford Dealership about 20mi away and they quoted $587.89 parts included.

Called the stealership yesterday, they quoted me $1,100 in labor to change the gaskets (not including parts). Any advice? Or just bite the bullet

Can anyone else verify this? I read on another forum that they would not pass the visual inspection and most likely not the smog test itself. Has anyone tried?

But then I just have to take them off to get smogged right? I mean don't get me wrong, ideally I would love a set of headers. But I'd like to enjoy them for more than a year before having to take them off to pass smogg and then replace them... hmmm

Yeah that's what I thought. So really my only option is to replace my OEM exhaust manifold gaskets now and just swap out my other pieces when smog time rolls around (it seemed so far away when I originally changed it, but at least it's relatively easy to do) I'd be more or less a fool to use...

Original poster and original owner here. I newb-ily called the manifolds "headers" simply because I don't really know the difference between the two. Whatever they are called, I'm referring to the exhaust 'collectors' coming straight off the block which were factory installed and untouched. One...

I guess I shouldn't hold Ford to too high of expectations. They are after all, the same people who built the pinto, probe and contour... Just makes me wonder about the other parts just waiting for their turn to fall off the car. I'm not confident enough to go in there and get at the...

Hey guys, a couple weeks back I threw a code p0171 (too lean) and come to find out it's a pretty serious exhaust leak. After throwing on the lift, we found out the gasket on my passenger side header is cracked and it was missing one of the two OEM bolts holding it on. The strange thing here...

Just dealt with this lovely "undocumented feature" of the Mustang this past week. Down here in SoCal we actually got quite a bit of rain and most of it ended up in my dad's 06 vert. Water was 4 inches deep underneath the rear seats and a good one to two inches in the passenger floorpan...

I'm selling my father's 2006 V6 convert. He calls it his 'toy' and with the top down the car's just a blast to drive. It's been his reliable DD for a few years and now he wants something new. I've been changing the oil with Royal Purple but otherwise everything is as was when it came off...
