Go with the JBAs bro, since you have the exhaust already. Have fun putting them on or tell the machanics that "you are sorry for the hassle in advance". Oh, and you might want to think about some Breslin Split-Lock Fasteners and make sure you have a good set of Gaskets.

they are a bitch to put on, but if you can do it yourself, you can save a lot of money, just get a friend to help you out.
