wow now that is a crazy looking header

Take it from the manufacturer, there's no restriction on this header. The tubes were engineered at the proper turn radius and length to ensure maximum benefit of heading the exhaust gases to the collector.

That's a good deal.

uhhhh...why must the header look so complicated when everyone else chose a simple design?

ah! thats what i was lookin for...right there....its a long tube! i was wondering why the hell it would look like a that...makes alot of sense now, lol

I would love to see a dyno of one of these...that price is awesome...

wow great price

guys, we're serious about moving these things.... this is the best price for a long tube header of this quality and caliber.

Too bad 3" is WAAAY too big on a N/A car


I would be on this like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet if it had a 2.5" option

does this come with a bung for the o2 sensor? it says optional.

holy shit badass! nice JBP... i'm diggin it. Question for everyone... how hard is it to install a header yourself? does a bunch of things need to be removed or is it relatively simple? Seriously considering this!

Looks no different than putting in the CA shorty header other than it may/will weigh more

nope, its a tough install. At least 3 - 3.5 hours by my clock....

Looks no different than putting in the CA shorty header other than it may/will weigh more


Looks a lot different then the ca header. This looks to take up much more space therfore harder to install. I had heard of people having trouble installing them and a few gave up and sold it. Have never seen a good answer as far as how to actually shoe horn this thing in.

Really?!

:lol:

I guess I can see why with some of the tubes being in the way....

is anything need to be removed other then the oem header to install the votex header? Any tips/tricks?

is anything need to be removed other then the oem header to install the votex header? Any tips/tricks?

no, just the oem header. The half shaft could be removed for ease of installation, but is not necessary. The header comes with detailed instructions.

Damn it!
If this was in the summer I'd be all over it....

I have one and it is still sitting in the basement. The ONLY way that I could see getting that in was to take out the half shaft. I followed the install instructions and took the valve cover off. Did not give near enough room to install from the top.

how hard is it to take out the half shaft?

You can do it without taking the half shaft out; It takes practice. I've done the prototype dozens of times and installed three on customers cars.

Taking the valve cover off will let you access the top bolts easier, it does not mean that you can install the header from the top though... The header can only fit from underneath the car.

ps: get that header in the car and off the basement floor. ;)

how hard is it to take out the half shaft?

Hmm, Take passenger wheel off > take half shaft mounting bracket off > pop half shaft out from transmission. 15 minutes tops.

definately considering this.

More work than I wanted to get involved in to install a header. When I upgrade axles I will give it another shot.

Damn, good price. I may have to consider that.

You really should dedicate a full day to the install if you're doing this on your driveway. Personally, I recommend getting a shop to install it.

hey guys we could install down here but what are the odds i could just come up and buy it an your guys install it for me. If you can do it on a saturday that is. this is the last part i need to finish off my exhaust. Id be willing to come up this saturday if you guys can fit me in, just let me know how much the part and labor is and tell me what time and ill be up this weekend if you have one in.

then i can show it off down here.

pm me please if this works

Lets get some vids!

If it sounds as good as you say, you may have changed my mind about this thing.

If someone made the trip to your shop, how about $500 installed?

Good price and I think a lot of people would take you up on that, sell more headers that way!

Can we get some install pics and videos?

Sure we could do installs, seeing as we're good at it. :) I would have to up the price a tad and say $550 for a installed header. That's a killer price for a long tube header bought out right and installed!

Lets get some vids!

We will! :cssNET:

We're doing a production run, which means 30 days until we're completely done all 200 units. No sooner than that!

Also, the sale will be on for almost a couple months... (remainder of March, plus the entire April). If you want to get the sale price, you have to purchase immediately!

Shipping begins when we're done the full batch.

WOW what a price!:twothumbs BTW what is used as the dp?

k, im probably out then, I was in the process of purchasing but saw your sale. I have my first even in 19 days cause ill be in texas and i want to finish the exhaust and tuning before that.

thanks a lot guys, you will sell these no problem

Just a random question..... Is there any risk during hard acceleration of the header hitting the firewall? If so would motor and tranny mounts cure this?

Just a random question..... Is there any risk during hard acceleration of the header hitting the firewall? If so would motor and tranny mounts cure this?

No, no risk whatsoever. Many customers still have stock mounts and some hefty numbers. The header does not contact any thing other than the cylinder head. (in the proper way)

WOW what a price!:twothumbs BTW what is used as the dp?

Thats the beauty of this system, the downpipe can be the stock unit or any other downpipe manufactured by any company that installs in the stock location. Totally modular with long tube design.

I noticed in the link that the hp increase is approx 31.2 is that number on stock or a tuned car?

That number is with their intake and exhaust as well.

Problem with that... The stock dp is one of the most restrictive parts to the exhaust. So i take it you guys dont make a dp.

We do make a down pipe... Its in the exhaust section of our website: http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/PartDetails.php?partId=975&catId=975&catName=JP0975

No one else makes a long tube.

Weapon-R does.

i am definately interested.

What would you charge for the dp with the header? And what size is the dp?

What would you charge for the dp with the header? And what size is the dp?


Downpipe is 3.0"... Not really combining the dp with the header as the dp isn't being made in a huge batch... so I can't wheel and deal on that unit alone. A dealer might be able to work something for ya.

Wow... thats not something to be proud of... I dont know why i would want to contact a dealer. I mean if you as the manufacturer wont sell a dp seperate then how do you expect a dealer to do so? I guess since your unwilling to sell me a dp, i just take my business elsewhere.:lol:

damn, i might buy one of these!

so where is a dyno before and after....?

so where is a dyno before and after....?

There is no dyno of the header itself, only a dyno of the Vortex intake, exhaust and header all installed simultaneously. Any current customers have a dyno performed of just the header they'd like to share?

Everyone needs to realize that even without the dyno graph this header will out flow almost all the headers that are out for the cobalt right now.

i don't think you're understangind right here...

JBP is more then willing to sell only the downpie, without combining it with the header. what he is trying to say is that if you want to get a price cotation, you need to pass threw a dealer since JBP only sales at retail during sales.

contact USD Autosports for cotation!

I missed that post... and you are exactly right.

I am considering. As long as they come with instructions I guess its worth trying. Excellent price though.

Yes, they come w/instructions and pictorials to reference certain points with the installation.

JBP,

just to get this info out there for others looking.

its a long tube unit thats actually been engineered for primary length!
no one else has done that!!

is it an equal length? (not like it matters in an SC application, just wondering)

thank god i got another job...might get this to ...hehehe

How/Where on the website can I add the optional extra Wideband sensor bung and bung plug?

And to make sure I understand the process - Buyer pays and receives the header after the production run is complete? When would the buyer be expecting the header to be shipped/charged?

Thanks...

you cant add the option on the website, you have to send an email directly to info@jbodyperformance.com specifying that the additional bung be added. this is added for $15.

and you are correct with the process.. were hoping for a 30 day turn around from this point on to te shipping date.

I may just have to get in on this....pretty sure the TVS will love the extra flow haha

Sorry, another question for JBP....

The 3 inch collector bolts to the stock downpipe...How does this work? I thought the exhaust piping was 2.25 or 2.5 on the SS/SC....?

Thanks again for your help...

it probably won't, but will this cause a check engine light? I may just hop on this deal...that price is amazing.

Thanks again for your help...

Stock DP is about 3" at the flange. It gets smaller at the cat, then smaller still where it bolts up to the cat-back, which is 2.5". There is one section of 2.25" over the axle.

it probably won't, but will this cause a check engine light? I may just hop on this deal...that price is amazing.

The header won't cause a check engine light when installed properly. If you tend to install parts without gaskets, then yes, you'll get a light. ;)

The price is just stupid low... if you we're waiting for a header, you have no more excuses. This is THE header to get.

Thinking about getting the whole "Vortex" package (header/DP/Catback) as the header and DP are reasonable, but the Catback is way pricey and I can't really tell why it's so much more...granted a competitior's Catback is "only" 2.75 sized but it's fully polished and $699...can't see the $350 dollar difference...


Anyone?


Also I emailed JBP Sunday about paying for/adding an additional bung to the header (may change it to the DP as it's no cost) but haven't received any answer ?

Odd, Myself and Marco didn't see an email come in concerning that. Anywhoo, the additional O2 bung on the header is only $15. This comes with the plug and the O2 bung welded to the header.

The catback pricing is as such for now... Maybe we might do a huge production run of our exhausts as well, this would bring the price down considerably. If this is the case, we'd sell the entire system as a whole upgrade kit and offer a discount to through our dealer network.

That's cool...I'd like to keep the total exhaust ( header/DP/Catback) with one make ...but the header is at a good price now... so ohhhh, the pressure of decisions ;)

So correct me if I'm wrong but we can expect these to start shipping out at the end of the month right?

No, in about 3 weeks times.

Ugggh, so the middle of April then? Hopefully I will get the tvs in around the same time.

What happened to the JBP website...got all excited when they had a "Complete Kit" listed under the Exhaust section, but nothing was there...along with all of the other categories?

if this is available when i sell my tial wastegate i will buy this :)

I want one of these REAL bad.

There is no dyno of the header itself, only a dyno of the Vortex intake, exhaust and header all installed simultaneously. Any current customers have a dyno performed of just the header they'd like to share?

So if the Header alone doesn't increase the whp on the SS SC by 31whp, Can you provide a dyno of the header only? I'd like to see those number please. (In order to justify the original $867 dollars your header retails for).
Thanks.

Yup, us too.. The welders have a fire lit under their butts... so we expect to be on time for delivery.

I'll trade you a set of your own Stg2 Cams for one... :lol:

That's about all I can do anytime soon. :(

So JBP would i still be able to purchase one by the end of next week or what. Are you trying to sell the whole 200 within the month or what, when is the deadline.

it'd be awesome to sell all 200, but we wont hold our breath. :)

the deadline is end of April...

just as long as you push mine out...

Maybe I missed it, but did a video ever get posted?

I'm getting more and more interested in this every day....
Maybe if Revenue Canada would get their ass in gear with my return....

haven't heard or seen anything yet. So..., are we going to have a video or at least someone that has the header installed for a before and after on the dyno?

Just curious, but will this work on a sai infected car??? I am guessing not.

SAI shouldn't pose a problem, but without having tested one out, we can't be 100% sure.

Guys, we'll post a video so you can hear idle & acceleration. Other than the power gains, It's the idle sound and acceleration that sells the header. I know the camera won't capture its exact sound... Your car won't sound like a 4-banger anymore...

I will most likely be buying this soon, I have until the end of april, correct? When will the first batch be able to be shipped?

it'd be awesome to sell all 200, but we wont hold our breath. :)

the deadline is end of April...

I bet that if you wait until the end of May... you'll probably sell A LOT more units in America. (I know that I am getting my $600 rebate... and would love to spend it on this!)

I'm excited to hear what this sounds like.

just confirmed: video will be up tomorrow.

It's entirely possible that you sent me crap and send everyone else good stuff. After all, one of the primaries on the header touches up against the engine since you sent it back after fixing the warped flange. Not to mention all of the work that had to be done to the dp and catback just to be able to get it onto the car.

So these actually fit? I NEVER heard of anyone getting one to fit, you have any high quality photos of it installed? Im just curious.

JBP, I completely missed this post...any units still available at the $385 price and.....these are the updated ones without any head modiying required correct? And, can I buy direct from you since this thread was made by you or do I need to call CED and place it through them?

this will get any performance gain with the gm cat back?

that still won't work. It has to be on streetfire or another hosted website so I can access it. I cant go through the ships proxy to view something.

Is this sale still going on?

Hmmm... its only on youtube.... sorry i tried though.

Very unique sound. I like it. I would like to see more videos and sound clips though.

Oh cool thanx, well i have to wait anyways because I havent got my check yet. Have you purchased one yet or are you waiting also.

I'm waiting til they are in stock; I'm way too impatient to pay for something and wait for a month to get it...next check on April 11th and Bday on the 16th...so probably looking to treat myself to this........

Sexy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yea I feel you there "no homo" and I am probably going to wait until that same time too so hopefully we will get it around the same time hopefully.

Ditto, when they let us know they have some in stock I'll make the deal... I don't like buying something then having to wait for an extended amount of time...

I pay = they ship ;)

ha ,ha if you like the way it sounds on the vid, it's going to blow yorwequ away when you here it in person.
the car doesn't even sound like a 4 cylinder engine, in person.

what kind of exhaust you have with it ? im wondering if the exhaust would make it sound different

what kind of exhaust you have with it ? im wondering if the exhaust would make it sound different

From his sig...
JBP Vortec 3" CAI, Header,downpipe, and Cat back Exhaust

Yes, the catback would change the tone, but I'd imagine it would still keep that distinct sound.

yeah i know which one .....cause there a couple in the site

can anyone describe the sound? I don't know what "awesome and wicked" sound like....

thanks.

play the video

play the video

He cant... he's on a ship in the middle of the atlantic, and youtube is blocked.





I cant seem to be able to download the movie, so i cant host it on streetfire. :(

what is the Computer Tuned primaries 1⅝"?

what is the Computer Tuned primaries 1⅝"?

The size of the "tubes"...

any chance to get a price break on shipping? It's pretty rediculous

No kidding...

can anyone describe the sound? I don't know what "awesome and wicked" sound like....

thanks.

The best I can do is... It sounds like a cross between an STI and a Ferrari 360.

I dunno... can anyone else really describe it? It just doesn't sound like an inline 4.

What? $46?
Your joking right?
That's what us Canadians get stuck with on almost everything we buy.

Welcome to cross boarder shipping... :)

No kidding...

How much is the shipping in the US?

It'll cost you $46.61 to have it shipped. Doesn't matter where it's going... so it seems.

oh thx for ansering the question USMC:cssNET:

sux to be you!

I hope your joking...
JBP is Canadian... :lol:

I did not know that...I stand corrected :twothumbs


I still think shipping is too much though...

so when can we expect these to ship out? I know you said you would be waiting for the welders to finish up the whole stock but, I would like to have it before the 20th. That way at least I would be able to feel the difference before June. I have to be underway for a month starting on the 24th. So I hope you guys are going to be quick with the shipping.

if your looking for a long tube header clear image makes one also

well I already paid for mine, so I want to get it as soon as possible.

if your looking for a long tube header clear image makes one also

Eh, they CALL theirs a long tube... but it is nothing in comparison to this one.

I just want my header before I deploy in september.

I just want my header before I deploy in september.

Haha, I think you'll have it by then!

Where you deploying to?

just the arabian gulf. I'm a squid of course.

Damn Squids! Haha...

Just kidding. I don't hate on anyone but the Army! Hahaha. I almost joined the Navy to be on the Flight Deck. Bomb Tech or something dealing with the bombs on the Jets... its been like 5 yrs, I don't remember!

I have been in for just over 4 years now. I re-enlisted in part to get this tvs supercharger. I hope this and the rebel intake make a real difference.

how many units are left im just waiting on a my next check to come in to get in on this

damn, im bout to get my 3rd header lol

31WHP!! FOR UNDER $400, by far the best power for the $

keep in mind those numbers come from running there downpipe and exhuast as well

and how does that fare against other full exhausts?

damn, im bout to get my 3rd header lol

31WHP!! FOR UNDER $400, by far the best power for the $

You won't see ANYWHERE near that much. That is 99% likely to be power gains from an SS/SC. I HIGHLY DOUBT that a 2.2 would get anything close to that.

how many units are left im just waiting on a my next check to come in to get in on this

There's more than enough units left... we won't run out.

are these shipping out yet?

no, not yet. End of April.

no, not yet. End of April.

If I got the header and the pulley, could I get free shipping on the pulley at least?

If I got the header and the pulley, could I get free shipping on the pulley at least?

good question; same here because i'm interested in both too......

no, not yet. End of April.

damn because i need a header asap. i dont think i can wait till the end of april.

what are the advantages of long tube vs shorty?

better low/end or top/end?

i have a 2.2, would this be a good mod for mee??

i have the SAI, i hear its hard to install a header without denting it because of a coolant line coming out of the block, so will this fit my engine (without denting)??

We've tuned the header to benefit bottom-mid end torque and sacrifice top-end. The header compliments heavily modified vehicles (pulleys, exhaust, intake, cams, etc...) much better than stock vehicles with restrictive exhausts, as the runner length is designed for maximum exhaust 'pull' at low-mid rpm. So you get the low end grunt of a short tube and the lasting torque curve of long tube with our header.

The header is a good mod for the 2.2, but as for fitment, its hard to say as we've never put our header on before. One customer who bought the header has a 2.2L and is willing to try to see if it fits... When we hear back from him as to whether it fit well, we'll advertise it to everyone.

Alright guys, the welders are proceeding along fluidly. We should be good for our date of delivery and on time for shipping!!

At this point, I would like to stretch our thanks for everyone who has purchased the header thus far. We're going to add a little something for free for everyone who grabs a header during this sale that normally costs an additional $150. ;)

which is i need to know i cant make my mind up...this header or the zzp midlength..help me make my mind up:)

So if i buy it like this week will i be able to get this deal too or no.

If I got the header and the pulley, could I get free shipping on the pulley at least?

Same question.

I'm for sure buying the header sometime this week.... If shipping isn't too much, I'll probably get in on the pulley too.

So if i buy it like this week will i be able to get this deal too or no.

yup...!

Must've missed that question. Absolutely, we'll combine ship on a header + pulley combo. Just buy both and indicate in a separate email to 'info@jbodyperformance.com' that you are requesting a shipping refund on the pulley.

That's awesome!
:twothumbs

yup...!


Thanx sounds cool.

wonder what this free present is?

free shipping

free shipping

Made me LOL :lol:

I would guess its probably ceramic coating or something......

dear god no cab..lol

are they still elling these headers? if so how much and what are the gains?

There ya go, give italianjoe a prize.

All electro polishing will be done (for free) on the pre-ordered headers for the sale purchasers only. This option, which regularly costs $150 will be performed at JBPs' expense. Get your sunglasses ready :cool:

did you find the link we emailed you ok??

any confirmed date for the shipping?

I will be ordering during the middle of next week, damn that thing is sexy and I likes the price too!

Also, is it a good idea to have the Wideband 02 bung on the actual header itself?

Does it come with new studs for the head or just the bolts that connect the header-dp?

Does it come with the neccesary gaskets?

good question x2^^^

Does the sale end at the end of the month or until all 200 are sold?

any confirmed date for the shipping?

10 days, we're keeping our fingers crossed.


Also, is it a good idea to have the Wideband 02 bung on the actual header itself?


Yes, for $18 bucks, we'll throw one on the header for you.


Does it come with new studs for the head or just the bolts that connect the header-dp?


It comes with new bolts, one stock stud is reused.


Does it come with the neccesary gaskets?

No, gaskets are not included with the header.


Does the sale end at the end of the month or until all 200 are sold?


The sale ends at the end of the month. The remaining units will not be available for the sale price.

What gasket do you recommend using? Do you sale one?

Also, is it a good idea to have the Wideband 02 bung on the actual header itself?


According to Autometer and AEM install instructions, it is recommended to have the wideband o2 placed a certain distance from the engine exhaust ports to get a proper reading. (This distance can be found in the install instructions, I don't have them on hand right now).

I can tell you from first hand experience that the best reading will be found when placing the wideband closer to the end of the downpipe, but still before the cat. (This is where zzp's high flow cats become a great asset).

I am not certain how one would fit a wideband sensor into this header as the collector tract is already considerably populated with the existing narrowband.

so are you saying that they will be delivered in ten days or are you hoping to ship them out in ten days? And what is going to be the shipping method?

What gasket do you recommend using? Do you sale one?

The stock gaskets are fine. You can get it from any GM dealer.


I am not certain how one would fit a wideband sensor into this header as the collector tract is already considerably populated with the existing narrowband.

Each wideband calls for a specific distance from the head, LC-1, AEM, etc... however, the distance we place the wideband at is an optimal point for all sensors on the market.

We offset the wide band bung slightly, offering mounting for both sensors in a relatively easy position to extract the wideband for interval calibration.


so are you saying that they will be delivered in ten days or are you hoping to ship them out in ten days? And what is going to be the shipping method?

Hoping to ship within ten days, not delivered. Shipping is Canada Post, Expedited Courier.

got a dyno chart for it before and after?

did you find the link we emailed you ok??


yep yep i sure did and cant wait till they come in

i just place my order:P
