JBA Headers vs BBK headers

A stock cast manifold allows the exhaust from the forward cylinders to swirl through all the other exhaust ports on the way to the midpipe. It's the same principle as a smooth-tube CAI...eliminate bends and vortexes in the pipe, and your air moves faster...you're not losing velocity to swirling turbulence, so your engine moves the air more efficiently, which leads to higher volumetric efficiency at high rpms. More power!!

LOL thats what im talking about. Any questions?

Sounds like it's time to flip a coin!!

Man I gotta be honest, once I saw the price and features of the Mac setup, and heard the prochamber midpipe, I was in love...looking at prices from other manufacturers (especailly to ceramic coat them as an extra expense) kept pushing me back towards the Macs...got a baby on the way so I'm a huge bang-for-the-buck buyer, and they seem to be the most well-rounded for power, quality, and price...For me. You gotta get what you want!

Haha it's fun to geek out about engine physics every now and then. Lots of folks can tell you what makes power, few can tell you why. Glad you enjoyed that...

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 11:43 PM

i think im goin BBK's then the ceramic coat and x pipe for only 700 bucks sounds good to me...though i have flowmaster axle backs i hope that isn't goin to be TOOO raspy with the x pipe

Grabber523 · March 17th, 2008, 11:45 PM

ATTA BOY!!! Now, go buy them before you change your mind again!!

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 11:48 PM

seriously im waiting on some money from a guy whose buyin my truck so end of the week ill be buying BBK LT headers w/ off road x pipe, steeda lower and upper control arms, and 2 17x10.5 rims w/ 315/35 nitto DR's for the track....

06RedfireGT · March 17th, 2008, 11:50 PM

Hate to break it to you but I think the Flows sound like shit alone, but even worse with an x-pipe. Check out my exhaust sticky for proof.

And if it were me, I would run JBAs. I like the fact that they are stainless. Also, what is the ceramic coating going to do power wise? 1-2hp tops?

06RedfireGT · March 17th, 2008, 11:51 PM

Why Nittos when you could run some mickey thompsons or M&H tires?

Grabber523 · March 17th, 2008, 11:52 PM

Depends on what else you're running for mods...

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 11:55 PM

damnit now im debating again hahaha thanks 06red haha

JStang14 · March 17th, 2008, 11:56 PM

the JBAs are only 409 stainless steel, and will rust. mainly just surface rust but still rust. i'd go bbks

06RedfireGT · March 18th, 2008, 12:00 AM

If you're debating about tires, stop now. If they are strictly for track duty, go with the stickier tire.

M&H Racemaster Drag Radial 325/45/17 [MH-325-45R-17] - $229.00

06GTMustang89 · March 18th, 2008, 12:05 AM

are my stock axles goin to be able to handle 3000 RPM launch with 12.8" wide DR's?? And will those bad boys fit in my wheel well??

06RedfireGT · March 18th, 2008, 12:10 AM

Yes, and yes. They are 28.5 inches tall, they will fir fine, and your car has 31 spline axles. People are launching from 5k on MT ET drags which are a true slick with no problems. And with these tire you could dump the clutch at 5k and hook like crazy.

06GTMustang89 · March 18th, 2008, 12:13 AM

thats gonna be some fun/scary shit when i first hook with these bad boys good call 06 im gonna go with the M&H's

06RedfireGT · March 18th, 2008, 12:16 AM

If you wanted a sticky tire for street duty I would say the Nittos but if they are only for the tracl than MT or M&H are the way to go.
