So I got the jba shorty headers on my stang and it did change the sound a little, to a thickerwarmer rich sound. It feels a little bit stronger, but I think I should get it dyno to see if its running lean and to see if any new gains. Question to anyone that has jba shorty. Did anyone do a dyno before and after to see any gain or if the car is running lean or rich?

Oh! One more thing. When I put the windows up and turn the radio off, the car sounds like a nuclear-submarine or jetplane, taking off. I guess thats the road noise from the steeda uca/lca working and the air/vacuum sounds from the headers making the engine and exhaust breath better. Cool Sh**!

Denny, your signature shows you have a single exhaust. Are you running the headers with a single exhaust ???

I hope you can post the dyno results, I am really curious how much the headers help - especiallyif it is with the single exhaust.

Denny Carlton

Yes! I'm running a single flowmaster, but I will be going in for a dyno to see if there was any gain in the headers to my setup. And to see if everything is on key. (air/timing) I'm looking into a dual exhaust right now. The flowmaster is nice, but a little to loud for me (sometimes) I'm looking at Street Pro pypesss catback w/x pipe or the same setup w/gt take off mufflers. I think the Pypes are going to be to loud for my taste. ps: I'll keep you updated. Denny

Did you ever get the dyno done ??? If so I would appreciate the results on any gains as well as the air/fuel ratio etc.

Thanks

This weekend 07/07/07 I was going to get the car dyno, with the headers and ucl/lca to see if any new gains. But I'm going to hold off on that. I'm trying to go F/I and I need all the money I can save up.

I'm right now selling some old guitars and basses that I don't need any more.

If you know anyone that would like a nice bass guitar, I have a mint Musicman Stringray 4 string for sale, $1200.00

I'll be putting this bass on eBay by 07/15/07
Thanks,
Denny

is the sound improvement alone worth the money? i could care less about a few horsepower, but a sweet exhaust note is music to my ears lol.....when i got my duals i didnt listen to the radio for a good week and a half

I had the Borla exhaust on my V6 with stock headers and got rid of the muffler due to the drone.
I then got the right side from a Ford Racing GTA / GT 500 setup. Sounds great.
Few weeks after that I installed the JBA shorties. I did not get much of a sound difference. It sounds a tad bit deeper, but not worth it. If getting for sound I think you will be dissapointed.
I got my headers on ebay for not too much - little deeper sound is nice and there is a small for for sure noticable difference in the lower end power wise.

glad you are enjoying it man. it shouldnt cause you to run lean at all, so dont be worried

Thanks! I'll get a little more out of the JBA headers when I get F/I
