Default Headers: JBA vs. Pypes vs. BBK

Time for some new headers.

Anyone know of any quality differences between these brands? I've see a lot of people here tend to buy either the JBA brand or the Ebay knockoffs. And they seem to run the extreme on price with Ebay being the cheapest and JBA being the most expensive.

The BBKs are listed as a full 1/8" larger ID that the JBAs and are $60 cheaper on AM. They are also $20 cheaper than the Pypes. Concerns me because if they are no big differences then why the difference in pricing?

I just read on here yesterday that the JBA headers leak at the flange and the American Racing headers are the best.

I don't see where American Racing makes headers for the V6. Can you post a link to them?

leak?... i have JBA shorties and have no leaking issues. they were probably installed incorrectly or maybe the problem is with the gaskets. JBA's are well made.
