Neither will gain you much, but I have the JBA shorties and they look great compared to the rusty stock exhaust manifold. Adds a little rumble to the sound also.

I would say JBA's just because I know that none of them will really give you much power, and JBA is a really good brand that I trust

The headers will look better, sound better, get you more hp. (But they are harder to install)
