Who has experience with these headers and main concern is fit and quality. Please dont assume they suck because they are cheaper, i want personal experience with these.
Thanks!

I have the JBA ceramic coated LT's and catted X pipe and I love them.. Got them both for $800. Had a shop install, one thing though, they did not come with new clamps. The shop said the factory clamps wouldnt fit, my option was to lleave the car there over night so they could get bigger clamps, or let them weld the X to the headers. I let them weld.. Never had headers on a car before, so nothing to compare too, but Ireally love the power it added and even more, love the sound...

Thanks man, so u didnt have any clearance issue? That was my main concern.
My friend install pipes LT and it was a nightmare to fit. Took him like 14 hours to install by a shop.

I wouldn't think they'd suck as I have their O/R X and it has been fantastic. I cannot speak for the headers though. If you get them I'd like to hear how they are as I might just go ahead and get those!
Yea i have hear good things about their x/h pipes.
Now comes the million dollar question, should i get an x or H pipe?

I have the JBA headers and had a couple minor fitment issues, first where the steering knuckle passes by it rubbed , had to heat up the pipe and just tap it in a little, and where the flange is by the frame rail was too close but that was easy just pry it over and stick a peice of wood behind it then tighten up your hpipe and it held it over , other than that they are awesome, gained 19hp with just the headers

oh and i do my installs and it took me 9 hrs with all hand tools, if you have an air rachet u can cut that in half, its a pretty simple task if you take your time and follow the intructions, the hardest part was removing the ground cable from the passengers side motor mount, but with a few extensions and wrenches anyone can do it.

I am all about saving money and yes i highly recommend them just be prepared to tweak them alittle if you have torches u may need to heat up a pipe but nothing major...
