JBA shorties worth it?
Are JBA shorty headers worth the time and money? I have an 01 5.4 screw...

Thanks!

Cool
Ken -

Will let you know later this week. I am right in the middle of installing a set on my 97 SC.

Thumbs up
The JBA's are worth it. I noticed a nice increase in mid-range torque and acceleration. Didn't do the work myself. Paid $150 but the muffler shop said the next guy he did one for would be at least $300!

OK spent quite a bit of time this weekend wrenching on the JBA's. Finished up Late Sunday. Fit and Finish (I got the Black Ceramic Coating) were excellent. So far I only have 20 miles on them on surface streets. Mid Range is improved, but more testing is required. Need to get out on the Highway.
