BOUGHT THESE HEADERS FROM JBA 3 YEARS AGO. COST ME LIKE $400-$500. BROUGHT TO SHOP BECAUSE OF AN EXHAUST LEAK. TURNS OUT, BOTH SHORT TUBE HEADERS WERE CRACKED IN 4 SPOTS. 7.0 HOURS TO R&R. WORST OF ALL... JBA SAYS WONT FULLY COVER REPLACEMENT OF JUST THE PARTS.. ONLY HALF. JUNK PARTS FROM A JUNK COMPANY. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A BOGUS COMPANY. WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN FROM JBA... GOOD NEWS IS MY NEW FORD RACING ONES ARE DOING OK BUT ARENT A TRUE TUBE DESIGN LIKE JBA MADE. ANY OF YOU DEALT WITH THESE PEOPLE AT JBA??
HAhaha.. I have always stayed away from JBA because they are over priced so I cannot say anything about thier quality level, but that is the first bad thing I have heard .
is it really necessary to join a forum just to **** about a companies product and type in all caps? if you would have calmly explained and not yelled at us that would be much nicer. have a nice day Mr. Glass.
JBA had a problem with the 2V headers for the first year or so. supposedly they fixed the problem. maybe you got an old set of headers? mine have been good for 4 years or so now.
I have JBAs and love them, great quality and great fit. My buddy is a distributor for them so I got them cheap. Hes also ran JAB exhaust on tons of cars (25+) and has never had a problem with any of there products. Just bad luck I guess.
All companies have quality issues of some kind. This too is the first actual bad story of jba product I've heard in a long time. Like stated above, maybe you just got a bad set. I can see why after so long they aren't willing to do a whole lot as most companies wouldn't be.
I had JBA shorties and mine cracked too, in several places. I replaced them with Mac longtubes, and I like them a lot better.
I WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE ITS MY WORK COMPUTER AND IT WONT GO OUT OF CAPS..... PLUS YOU WOULD BE MAD TOO AFTER A 7 HOUR R&R.
since when does a computer not use a PS/2 keyboard. anway..to keep this on track...like others have said it sounds like you got an old set
JBA shorties being junk is no secret. The make short tube headers for the MN12's and I haven't had a good thing about them yet?
I wouldn't bother going back with them, I'd go with set of LT's since you have to repair them anyways.
