N/a they're not really worth it. If you got a blower or some type of force induction they can be just as good as L/T's if used with the right combo of X pipe and catback.

For the $$$ your going to spend on them, get L/T's man. JBAs are pretty expensive IMO.

I was thinking that I would save money with the install and buying a new x pipe. I will have to save and go with the LTs

i went with JBA's because there are strick smog laws where i live. i gained .2 and 1.5mph with them on my otherwise stock exhaust. but i am blown. it made the exhaust slightly deeper and slightly louder.

they say you may get about 9rwhp on N/A applications, but you will certainly see gains if you supercharge the car. if you can though, get long tube headers.
