I have a choice between a set of headers for my 99' Cobra. The Ford Racing are about $200 cheaper but the JBA look better. I have also heard that the JBA headers eventually crack. Does anyone have Ford Racing headers on there Cobra or JBA. What do you guys think wich ones should I go for.

I think you should go with JDM/KOOKS long tubes. They have a slip on collector that allows installation in a snap without taking the engine out of the car. They are expensive but will save you a ton of money on installation as it is so simple you can do it yourself in less than 2 hours. Just my 2 cents

LT's are illegal in california, so you run the risk of getting some hefty fines for having them on.


I'd get the JBA's and have a good shop do the installation.

HA, 2 hours, yea right...maybe once the K-member is out you can get them on in 2 hours...but there's no way you can install the Kooks in just 2 hours...
