Post [B]"SHORTY HEADERS"[/B]

Who has shorty headers on their '05 to '06 ? What brands ? How did they fit and install ? Any HP gains ? If you had to do it over again would you ? Im trying to decide if this is worth the $$ and time or not.

I am interested in shortys not long tubes ! I did not ask which one was better, long tubes or shorty. I came here to get some info from others on shortys not comments like GTFO meant for OT. So if that is how you help people then you GTFO or if you where only joking then a would help relay your message....

Thank you S197winstang for you input, while searching the threads JBA keeps coming up as a good shorty header.


You should pull your car off the lift and get the girl mechanics on yours :~)

With the Shorty heads, x-pipe, CAI and a tune I got her up to 291 rwhp. I am not sure how much the heads contributed but better breathing helps top end. I like the tone they put out as well. They are not cheap and you do need to install them at a place that you trust but you will not be dissapointed. i will get you a quote of what paid. the invoice is here somewhere.

JBA stainless steel ceramic coated headers $429.99 + tax
JBA header gaskets $29.99 + tax
Install estimate for headers and X section $480.00 so about 400 for just the headers
