Product Details

Cat4ward Shorty Headers by JBA®. JBA shorty headers are one of the best performance upgrades available for any application. Hot Rod magazine rated headers as one of the top 10 power parts installed on a vehicle. JBA shorty headers are significantly less restrictive than the stock manifolds on a vehicle and dramatically increase the power and efficiency of an engine. JBA's original shorty design is an innovation of the old long tube header. The new shorty designs yield high performance gains that hot rodders and enthusiasts look for.

Installation

With durable stainless steel construction that can survive the abuse of racing, towing, and daily driving, these headers can take a beating. With heavy duty features and patented technology, like the JBA Firecone® collector, JBA shorty headers have the capacity to produce more power than any other shorty headers on the market. Each system includes high quality hardware and thorough instructions for a professional no-leak installation.

When it comes to performance exhaust systems, most people are looking for three things: Power, sound, and quality. JBA exhaust systems deliver the best of all three, giving it both great looks and performance. One of the first performance upgrades typically made to a vehicle is the addition of a performance exhaust system. While there is a high demand for performance sound the capacity for power in a JBA exhaust system gives JBA the extra edge. Each system is tuned to provide the best possible exhaust tone without being overwhelming from within the vehicle. By replacing the restrictive factory exhaust system with free flowing mandrel-bent stainless tubing and quality performance mufflers, JBA has developed the power, sound, and efficiency desired in a vehicle. Each kit is finished with a polished chrome plated stainless steel tip that resist discoloring, along with high quality hardware and thorough instructions for a simple bolt-on installation.

Great Product
Love these headers. They look and sound great. Super fast shipping, arrived in 2 days. Very easy to install. They're a little bit pricey, but still, great overall.

Good, however:
I like the headers. But I wasn’t supplied with enough bolts to attach them to the y-pipe. Also the driver side gasket didn’t fit the existing bolt pattern so I have to now buy the gaskets to fit on my own. Also, not having an install guide made it tricky as well. And the estimated time of delivery was wildly off by two weeks. Still, nice headers.

Worth Every Penny
Ok so this is not an easy job the bends make it really hard to get the bolts in. If you can’t to it go to a shop and have them do it.

Ho Hum
Not impressed with product. Stainless Steel had rust spots. Inside of pipes especially dirty - ran a rag through them and came out really dirty and small black bits came out - like a lot. Ran a long slender brush through pipes again and still came out with brown colored bristles. Ports are welded irregular and looks unprofessional. Not sure I want to put these on my car.

Solid Headers
Easy installation on passenger side tools about 30 min. The driver side on the other hand took 1 1/2 hours the hardest part is one screw right behind the pipe and difficult to get into. Highly recommend getting these.

Great Product
These headers look and sound great. They are difficult to install, because you have to remove other parts to access the space you need. That isn't the fault of the manufacturer so I still gave them four stars for installation.

Direct Fit
Good product for that price, directly fit and assembling was easy. I spent 15 minutes to install. Sound fantastic, i think more bass sound. Best bang for buck.

Amazing Quality at an Affordable Price
I was a little skeptical, but these headers fit and quality is comparable, if not better, than some of the other brand names. Not to mention they sound amazing.
