They just won't stay pretty as long as the ceramic coated headers. Also, the ceramic coating disapates heat better and keeps the heat out of the engine compartment. You might also want to consider the MAC shorties, they are equal-length and the primaries are 1 5/8" as opposed to the 1.5" of the JBAs. They are cheaper also.

So the mac shorties are better and cheaper than the JBA shorties?

Jimp

Cheaper for sure. Better, well IMO they are. Keep in mind that the larger the primaries, the louder the headers will be. The 1 5/8" primaries will really shine with a power adder.

just installed the mac shorties on my ride, if you get them, pay someone for the install, turned out more of a challenge than I expected, will be worth any price you have to pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm, mod bug has kicked in again. MAC LT's with Nitrous, 125HP shot. LOL. Very interesting. Damnit! I want that turbo, must stop modding!

Trill Gear Head

damn rygen, the turbo bug has bitten you to? Thats all i can hear, Must get Turbo, Must get Turbo!!!!! Make it STOP!!!!!!!

I tried to buy it a couple of times now, web site wont let me check out. Don't get me wrong, I love my Zex, and my insane TQ. Scrming talks reason into me on a routine basis. I don't trust myself with all that power every day. But man, 12's are definitely doable with that turbo.

LOL --- I got the "more boost" bug myself now [sm=gears.gif] Resistance is Futile!

Now I'm contemplating changing my S/C pulley out in the next month or so, after I get it to the track that is... to see and feel the difference. I don;t believe a throttle body , nor a UD pulley is going to really make much if any difference.... so go to the blower. Dan actually talked me out of the smaller pulley for now and to just have fun with the current setup and then we'll step it up... I'm sure my wife doesn't mind it either - LOL

Also looking to see what I can do to really firm up the engine a bit more - and kicking around the idea of Snow - Flapjack - you ever look into that w/ your procharge?

Damn - I wish I had sponsorship - LOL

Did it make any difference in the sound?

Strictly speaking for power gains, if I were to get a single MRT axle back and MAC shorty headers would I see any signifigant gains by going dual MRT's with an x pipe?
