I've heard nothing but good things about the JBA shorty headers. I planned on getting them ever since I heard about them from a few CS6 owners.

Unhappy

I got mines from here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...mZ350099459377

I made an offer of $90 and they accepted so you can try for $80 and see.

OR you can go with JBA headers and pay $236 for the JBA logo..

@MR305

Your sig says "GT front/rear calipers+rotors" .... FYI: The rear calipers and rotors are the same, the front calipers are the same. The difference GT/V6 is the front rotor size and the front caliper mounting brackets.

you are correct.. but mines had 46K miles on them and a friend of mine sold me front and rear gt brakes for $100 with 2230 miles on them. and i could paint them without having my car on jacks waiting for the paint to dry out.. so thats the main reason I swapped the entire brakes.. but you are right the only difference is on the front rotors and front mounting brackets.

Just to say a little more about the ebay headers. I have had mine for proably 2 months or more and they are still doing great. They are stainless the only problem I see with them, is that if you are a neat freak they show dust pretty bad. As for horse power and druablity. The ones I got where great, they were made just like the JBA with great quaility welding, no rough spots that I felt. Also MM&FF Magaizine has the JBAs which these Chinese ripoffs are made just the same, so they are rated for a 6er at 16horses and 17ftlbs. So they are worth the money, I know I noticed a difference. They are much deeper and more defined, not really that much louder
