I think theres better sounding exhausts than JBA, but still a decent kit.

They make pretty good exhaust systems & headers. Personally i think Borla, and MagnaFlow makes some of the best cat-back exhaust systems.

Don't forget that Ford Racing Performance Parts offers exhaust kits also.

I've got a JBA made K&N system, ya, remember them? SI/SO 3" with 3.5" tip. For someone who's picky on exhausts, this one is nice. It's pretty loud and doesn't sound farty. Headers? you'd get probably a hair better/louder with shorties, but considering the work involved, get long tubes.

I thought they were aluminized mufflers made by themselves.

I have the JBA 3" SI/SO and it sounds fantastic to me but I don't like uber loud exhaust. I definitely lost a little low end torque but she breaths awesome on the road. The muffler and tip are stainless steel BTW and look fantastic.
I think I would like to go back to a 2.5" system with long tubes though. I hve had gears sitting in the garage for months and no time to take the truck in as I have been on the road for months now!

Believe it or not, it's nice & smooth. Since it is a nice straight pipe, the exhaust flows practically unobstructed. And since the glass packs are way in the back, under the bumper of my 8' bed, I don't get that "cab drone" that I had with my Flowmaster.




Heartthrob Deep-Tone Dual Kit


Split rear design with a y-pipe and glass pack mufflers in the tips. Our best-selling systems, for a deep, throaty sound that is aggressive under heavy acceleration, but great at cruising speed. Aluminized mandrel bent 2-1/4" tail pipes. Now available in 409 stainless steel with 304 stainless steel angle cut muffler tips for most applications. All necessary pipes, hangers, clamps, muffler tips, hardware, and instructions included. Tips are 3.5 inches in diameter x 22 inches long. These systems clear spare tires and trailer hitches.
