HiSpdPursuit

Stopped by J-body performance and bought some eibach lowering springs today...and i also got an in depth look at a prototype of the equal length 1-5/8 shorty header they are going to be marketing. All i have to say is WOW! this thing looks amazing even in prototype form only being tack welded.

the workman ship on this header is great and very well designed It is definatly a true equal length header...there is a lot of tubing. I was comapring it side by side by a un-equal length TOG header i believe and you could tell the type of work put into the JBP one. The flange is flawless and port matched to the head. The primaries are very well routed close to eachother to a 3 inch collector. It is made from t-304 stainless steel and comes with a copper gasket and stainless bolts.

of course...it being mostly hand made and t-304 stainless its going to be pricey (550+ CND)
but the best part is i was told that J-body performance would be interested in setting up a group buy of this header at a good discounted price because they would be able to get the materials cheaper if a lot of people are ACTUALLY interested (I know i am)

They have a 4-2-1 header also that's supposed to be more long tube. Did you see that one by chance? Thanks

I have seen this also but I am not allowed to post the pics. Crazy comes to mind when describing it.
By the way, how was my engine looking while you were there? JBP used it to get the flanges looking perfect.

HiSpdPursuit

is yours the disassembled 2.0 in the back?...i was checking out a few engines back there and one was a 2.0 SS/SC. it is definatly a very professional and respectable looking shop thats for sure. Looks like a really good place to get porting work done.

we gotta get a list or something together of those interested in this header. The more people interested the more material they buy and the cheaper it is...so more of a group discount hopefully.

That is my 2.0 laying there in pieces, sort of like my car down in my garage.
I will be getting one of these headers when the engine is shipped back to me and that was my TOG that you were comparing it to.

I was thinking Victory when you get your car all back together, a G5 Gt front facilia would accent that beast nicely

yah I've been waiting for a while now for him to finish it. lol

as far as the long tube goes, they may not be making it any more, he said when he was looking at the vibrent one, he saw pretty much what he was going to make, so he decided not to even bothere and just sell the Vibrant peice.

in hi opinion it didn't look like it could be improved upon.
but who knows he may think up of something.

Sorry Mike but it won't fit the body kit I am getting

g5mike

You are getting a body kit too,congrats! Showoff

HiSpdPursuit

it can be purchased however ive been told the price might change but dont quote me on it until you hear officially from JBP. like i said before....if we get an idea of how many people are ACTUALLY interested in this header (which i definalty am) then it would give a better idea of the price for a group buy...they produce a high quality item for sure.

if you want an idea of the workmanship take a look at the 3.8 V6 equal length header they produce here: http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/...catName=JP0407

dropped by to see the header since hispdpursuit said it was good. i can't believe how nice it looks. i think it blows all headers out of the water. its just a maze of tubes! who is organizing the gp?

For power a long tube...but it deletes the cat.

CobaltSS313

well im not worried about the cat but isnt a shorty header plus a downpipe essentially a longtube header just in 2 pieces?

Matty

And a cat...well minus it. Same length as all the pieces (manifold, downpipe and cat)

HiSpdPursuit

i know there are more then 10 people that SHOULD be interested in this header

YoAdrian

I am interested. But what kind of power gains would we be looking at?

CobaltSS313

yah thats what im saying.

Matty

Ballpark 15 -20 depending on how many PSI you are putting out.

IMO.

wow I saw the header and it puts the pictures of those v6 headers to shame.
It looks pretty crazy. I'm sure we'll se great gains from it.
