Fresh off the UPS truck, brand new JBA headers. JBA quoted me almost $800 for these headers, got them off ebay shipped to my door for $260

they dont make enough beer or patience for me to try and put them on... but I am very curious to see how they do after installation.

good luck and they do look nice.. passenger side has my curiousity up for installation and performance.

ya im not a fan of that 1 cylinder coming in at a 90* angle. i found this site http://www.rmftc.com/howtos/headers/headers.html which makes the install look really easy. with the inner fenders out of the way it should be fairly simple.......i hope


kickinit, ive read mixed reviews as well but decided to bite the bullet anyways since the price was so cheap. i would have never paid full price for them. i usually have good luck with parts most people hate so we will see what happens. most people in the mustang world bad mouth mac headers but i cant say a single bad thing about them. been running those for years with no problems.

yes they are carb approved
