Anyone have JBP Vortex header yet?

Just wondering if anyone has ordered a JBP Vortex header yet and was wondering how you like it... I'm actually going to order mine with the JBP Vortex DP and JBP CAI this week.. Seeing as if my car is modded i figure i would get the best gains from this header

Haven't tried it personally. Price is a little steep at almost $700US but damn it's beautiful and might be worth it.

Considering the initial design was on my block sitting on the stand and then put in JBP's own Cobalt SS\SC, I would say the fitment is perfect.

It looks like it will be tight.

Then you can let everyone else know how it does. There always needs to be a first.

I know the TOG header was a tight fit and the JBP header will no doubt be tight but no tighter than throwing in a turbo or two.

My header was squeezed in there and it doesn't have the "pretzel" design. It will be interesting to see. Looks like a wicked piece...a little pricey though.

look how much extra material they are using too though.. not that it would make that much of a difference.. And with that design seems like they put a lot of R&D into it

I would like to see a power comparison with, say a Vibrant header and the JBP one. That would determine if it is worth the extra $$$$.

true.. i know JBP may be a little over priced. But since that header came out and me comparing for some reason i keep coming back to that one.. i did the same with my exhaust.. I spent months comparing and listening to different sounds and i kept finding myself looking at getting the Corsa Sport cat-back and what did i end up with the Corsa Sport.. and i am extremely happy and thought it was the best 600 bucks i spent on a cat-back... i have this very same feeling about the JBP header.. Maybe it's a sign or maybe i have telekenisis (sp?) or something..
