I contacted JBA this morning and spoke with them of the possibility of making some headers for us V-8 guys. He said it was possible, but the minimum order is 25 pieces. So, do we have at least 25 people who want a set? I'm looking at having them made with the EGR fitting and if you don't need it then a plug can be installed to close it off. Also, I'm in favor of Jet-Hot coating, does anybody not want their set coated? They will be shorttubes for ease of factory replacement and not sure of the actual pipe layout and size yet.

This is a very good opportunity for us V-8 guys as the FMS headers have been discontinued and other header manufacturers are hesitant to invest time and effort to make headers for us.

Email me at kentom@hawaii.rr.com, and/or reply here, with your contact info so I can start a list and hopefully we can come in over the minimum quantity order to show JBA there is a market for these headers.

if they will be better then my crappy FMS headers then I am interested!
 












im game if they are better than the fms ones. any word on size?
 






If you guys email me with your info can you also include your screen name so I can keep an accurate count. I'm very excited about finally getting some quality headers!!
 






Well, I received my FMS headers back from Jet-Hot about a month ago, but I have not installed them yet. If you can get more information about the JBA headers, such as tube configuration, then I might be interested in the JBA's and sell the FMS. I'll of course want mine Jet-Hot coated whether it's part of the package or I send mine to them. I believe that Jet-Hot sent me a $25 coupon when they sent me back my headers.
 






hey will these fit just stock or aftermarket heads?
 






what is the benefit of having aftermarket headers?
 












You got my vote, and I already emailed ya.

Basically, more power with better fuel economy. If you do a search under "headers" you will find a ton of posts.
 






you can count me in.
 






What kind of $$$ are they talking about? And is the EGR the only diff between the years?
 






Interested, and will wait for details.
 






Sounds great. I'm very interested also but don't want to give you a definite yes in fear that they'll be
