I am begining to consider switching these exhaust manifolds out for a pair of (California) legal shorty headers.

I know Ford Racing Performance Parts and JBA each have their own variants available but are there any others out there?

Also, are there any performance comparisons between the Ford part headers and the JBA ones? One looks very different from the other and the price seems to be a big difference too, $320 compared to $690.

the JBA is much much better looking with cleaner welds. I have the Ford Racing Shorty's & I bought on price along using the extra $ for other mods. check my thread "Got My shorty's today"

I had a set of the JBA's and never installed them because several members on another board (TMS) posted fittment problems so I sold them.Apparently the Ford racing ones are fitting ok and I hear MAC has a set out now too.I also believe stainless works has a set.May want to check those out
