    Jba shorties?

    Mine actually cracked at the flange between the number 2 and 3 cylinder on the passenger's side. I developed a nasty exhaust leak, and had to put the stock log manifolds back on the car. But hey, since then I've upgraded to turbo headers. So it's all good now.

    Jba shorties?

    Perhaps It's just a variation in the laws from state to state, but BBK's website (like many others) state that only non-catalytic midpipes are for "off road use" only. A long tube setup with a catalytic midpipe is completely legal in ALL 50 states. Only the non-catalytic midpipes are illegal in...

    Jba shorties?

    Why can you not get the car inspected with long tubes? I can't see how a state can make them illegal. You do have the right to mmodify your car using quality aftermarket parts. (see this) The BBK should be 50 state smog legal. As long as you get a catalytic midpipe, there should not be a problem?

    Not another TB/Plenum question ???

    Any time you can get the air to go into an engine faster, you will need to get the air out faster as well. Opening up both the intake and exhaustof your car will give you nice gains since the effects of both will complement each other nicely. :nice:

    Jba shorties?

    Save up until you can do the more logical of the two choices. As much of a pain as header installs are on 4.6L cars, you will only want to do it once. If you dont do it yourself, it will be quite expensive to have it done right. Save up the cash until you can do something like a set of BBK...

    Jba shorties?

    The car was tuned by The Turbo People of NY, (Chase and Job Spetters, Jr - to be more precise). But, in all fairness, the car was tuned with an Air/fuel of 11.0:1 with the car's safety/longevity in mind. The car is quite capable of more power, and faster times, but I needed to break in the...

    Jba shorties?

    My JBA headers cracked at the flange, and JBA wouldn't stand behind them. Besides, the stock log manifolds are almost as good. And for $460+, that is just not acceptable. If you are going to spend that kind of money, you really should buy some long tubes or the Bassani Mid-length headers. I...

    More hp with Mac Flowpath or Magnaflow??

    Dont waste your money on JBA headers. They are known to crack at the flange. Save up until you can do some quality longtubes. Despite the fact that I have the stock manifolds (Thanks again JBA! :notnice: ) with a Bassani catted X-pipe and Flowpath catback, i would say go with MAC or BBK Long...

    Thanks. Ive done a lot to that car, and I love it. I sometimes am told that i have done too much, others swear theres room for more. who knows. But anyways, as far as Cervini's goes, their Cobra R bumper is a one piece that replaces the factory bumper. It is a perfect fit. Im not a big...

    Well, if one Ryan with a Cobra R bumper from Cervinis isnt enough for ya, make it two. I have one on my car, and i have yet to have any cracks. Its been about 7 months since i got it. Cervinis is top notch on fit and finish. :nice: Its scraped a lot, but the lower brackets are what scrapes...
