JBA Headers vs BBK headers

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:00 PM

Both are longtube and both off road x or h pipe

JBA's are Stainless Steel

BBK's are Ceramic

give me your opinions between the two

leebunnyz · March 17th, 2008, 10:01 PM

if your trying to save a few bucks and there is good feedback about BBK's then thats your answer.

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:09 PM

its only 80 bucks difference so im just wondering haha which is better

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:26 PM

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:27 PM

BBK's are 700 including off road x pipe
JBA's are 739.99 including off road H pipe

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:32 PM

you ever look a mac headers? and do you want cats or no cats?

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:36 PM

nevermind you said offroad. you could get mac ceramic long tubes with a catted x for cheaper then that.

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:39 PM

i really want both so i can switch it out so i want to get the offroad now then the catted one when i go in for emissions

Brenspeed has the whole deal wtih MAC lt headers and the mid pipe for 929

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:44 PM

thats with the prochamber from bresnspeed is that what you want?

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:46 PM

if they were hte same price as the BBK's and hte JBA's then yeah but the MAC's are 200 bucks more

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:47 PM

when are you ready to buy?

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:48 PM

thursday or friday thats why im gettin my research done...Are MAC's that much better than JBA and BBK??

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:52 PM

i dont know. but when your ready to buy pm me. i dont want to go into on here but lets just say i know where you can get the mac long tubes with pro chamber, same set up as brenspeed for 836.90 and mabye even less.

mac headers themselves are 446. what are the bbk and jba long tubes by themselves.

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:55 PM

remember the prochamber is going to cost you more then the o/r x pipe set up. so in that sense your comparing apples to oranges. thats hey i ask what the jba's and bbk's cost by themselves? is that where your looking brenspeed?

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 10:56 PM

BBK's are 529.99 ceramic coated americanmuscle.com 700 (after discount) for headers and x pipe

JBA's SS are 579.99 stage3motorsports.com 739.99 with h pipe

How much of a difference is Stainless Steal finish to Ceramic?? is ceramic that much better??

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 10:59 PM

yea well the mac ceramic coated headers are 446.95 then whatever midpipe setup you choose. the macs are cheaper, i think they are just as good but you can ask around.

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 11:01 PM

ceramic will keep in the heat better. the purpose being to keep the temp in your engine bay down.

06GTMustang89 · March 17th, 2008, 11:02 PM

Gotcha damn this is a hard decision...i heard the JBA kit is really good quality and BBK has been around forever in mustangs so damnit this is hard haha

07stanggt · March 17th, 2008, 11:04 PM

LOL. Let me know whatever you decide. by the end of this week i might be able to help you get a deal on whatever you chose. just pm me.

Ceramic keeps the velocity of the expelled gasses up by keeping the heat energy in the header pipes, helping the exhaust scavenging effect, drawing the fresh air and fuel into the cylinders during valve overlap at high rpms, increasing peak hp.
