JBA Headers and Catback Audio/Video
#16
I was trolling around in the exhaust forums and one of the members mentioned that he saw an advertisement on JBA's website asking for a mock-up vehicle for the new body f150's. They were right here in my backyard, and I had already been looking at getting some work done, so I emailed them and then met them at the production factory. I made a deal with the R & D manager for a set of first-runs and let them borrow my truck for the day - I asked him about getting them installed and maybe getting a catback too and he said they would give me a break off of labor and cost for the exhaust. About two months later, I got a call from the marketing manager. He asked if I'd be willing to have the speed shop install everything for free - as long as I gave rights to a magazine. I said HELL YES. So I paid a little extra for their premium ceramic coating and the SIDO upgrade. That was about two years ago. To this day, I still get excited to drive my truck!

Hey mercedes you can get LT's and some maggy High flow Cats and a maggy muffler or what ever muffler you want and you should pass all tests. The collectors have a o2 bung in them then just put the maggys on and put your Rear o2s behide the cats. then run it to the back of your truck. I would hate to live in Commiefornia. To many rules!! i like it in michigan even thoe the states going to hell in a hand basket!! Good luck Mercedes love ur truck Those are some SWEET tires. and i love that lil Video of that kid hahaha

But good luck with that i hope you can throw some LT's on there it makes it sound 100X's better i put pacesetter LT's Jegs cut-outs and Dynomax bullets 3" pipe dumped true duals *yeah people say i lose TQ* But when i took off from a light with my 2.5" exhuast with shorties and dynomax super turbos it would just chreep and now when i floor it at a light the tires spin for a good 15-20 feet before they grab Dunlap radial Rovers 265/70/R16 *the 4WD tire even thoe i got 2WD* But good luck with that oh here is my dyno sheet of the shorties when i get some more money im going back to get my numbers after Longtube headers... i didnt do a base line with stock manifolds and muffler.
