READ THIS!!!! JBA JUNK HEADERS 4.6 L

[gr8blackstang]

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 .

 

[lazerred02]

I have heard one other report of cracked JBA's on a 2V.

is it really necessary to join a forum just to bitch 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.

 

[squeak93]

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.

 

[bakos24]

Had my JBA's on for about 6-7 years now and no problems.

+1, guy i know around here Nate - had his cracked on both headers.

 

[007]

Mine are fine. 3 or 4 years now. If I did it again I'd buy long tubes tho.

 

[99RioRedVert]

I had JBA shorties and mine cracked too, in several places. I replaced them with Mac longtubes, and I like them a lot better.

 

[gr8blackstang]

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.

 

[RedDaemon]

IF IT WONT GO OUT OF CAPS, HOLD DOWN THE shift button while you type....see what happens?

 

[gr8blackstang]

NO... THEY ARE MADE LIKE THIS FOR PARTS LOOK UP

 

[RedDaemon]

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

 

[gr8blackstang]

QUITE POSSIBLE THAT I GOT THE FIRST STYLE.

 

[Gearbanger 101]

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?

 

[war69]

Ive had my jba titainium headers on for 2 years now,with a blower. Awsome headers. no problums.

 

[Winters98GT]

I wouldn't bother going back with them, I'd go with set of LT's since you have to repair them anyways.
