I think we need to see a little more of the system. Looks like the back half of the system isn't being shown. I think one piece headers are going to be a bear to install.

I had them ship me a complete system; it is in my facility at this time to complete a dry fit and to confirm that all is as needed/desired; meaning the looks, the fit, and most importantly the ease of installation after which I will share my feelings.

Did anyone find the price?

The factory direct price on the coated headers is $1764. http://products.jbaheaders.com/detail_long_tubeV.asp?id=6690SJS

The stainless steel headers are $1470. http://products.jbaheaders.com/detail_long_tubeV.asp?id=6690S

Does the JBA system still use the stock Cat's or their own variant?

Damn good price.

The stock manifolds goes into a ball and socket type connection. The web site said the headers used a v band connection. The two are not compatible. A picture of the entire system would helpful.

The headers will "NOT" work with OEM cats.

The system is sold as either no cats or for use with their small metal bed cat setup.

Do we think/ know if this JBA system would pass current emission standards?
Up in NY, we have to pass a sniff test each year!!

Are the primary tubes all the same length, if so, how long?

 

[boostedGT]

I just noticed they list an exhaust system for the car as well at the bottom of the page, Im going to call them and see what all I can find out - pricing sounds about right

I just talked to Dustin a sales rep at JBA and he emailed these pics of the JBA exhaust installed on their R&D car .....looks pretty dam nice

muffler asthetically looks like a full titanium race muffler

here are the headers installed as well he mentined these are the silver ceramic coated ones

Dustin mentioned the headers do not have equal length primaries but they utalize a 1 3/4" primary tube, with a 3" colllector and all provisions for the factory o2 sensors are on the headers. He also mentioned JBA offers a set of mid pipes with high flow cat's that bolt in directly with the headers and make the system a 2 piece design instead of a 1 piece like some of the others on the market - that might ease some of the instalation headaches.

Hey Shadowman let us know how the install goes and take some photos im considering a full package myself for mt GT
