that will probably be cheaper anyways. install will be combined and you can probably get a better price for buying it as a package deal. i got the JBA system and only paid around $1,600 for everything, including install.

have no experience with anything but JBAbut I had to get the motor mounts. seems like, from what I hear, that it is a good idea to get a set of motor mounts with any L/T set-up.

Just a heads up, I saw some JBA longtubes on sale for $655...or it was $685...don't remember...

I might be able to find it again if you like.

You don't need to replace the motor mounts with Kooks or ARH.

I've had my JBA's on for a week and haven't had any problems with them hitting. This includes a dyno session. I paid $699 for ceramic LT and $179 for the o/r h-pipe.

i had no problems at first either. but once i drove it for a little while, one of my motor mounts broke. if the weak factory motor mounts dont break, it is no big deal, but they will more than likely eventually break...
