Bad-Mab header

What is the best place to order a badmab header. A place that sell a lot of them so that I may get the newest make from them. I just figure that if you get the newest one that they make, it will have better quality than its predecessors.

Cheap Cheap

I just bought the jbp noodle header off of ebay today for 200. Im going to compare the two.

I'm far aware of the speculation around the "noodle" header. Its really just to have it. Kinda like having multiple pairs of shoes.

I really wish the primaries where bigger on the bad mad, I know they're bigger than the JBP header though. I wish somewhere sold a header 1 3/4 primaries with a 3in collector, bolt to stock pattern and was ceramic coated. all this for like 200ish range.......

I guess badmad is as close as it gets.

I would like to know where the badmab header comes from, specifically. Where its made.

I think its made in america but not completely sure you could always send them an email. I dont know too many people that change headers like they change shoes but to each their own. also aint the primaries on the badmab 1.71 thats just .04 shy of being 1 3/4 being a bit picky aint we?

I can get them coated for you because our shop is in the same county as Jet Hot. It's a $100 upgrade though so your looking at $289 shipped to your door.


Thanks,
Brad

I went with ZZP 3inches catted with 2.5 exit but I haven't put it on my car. I am waiting to get ZZP 3 chambered exhaust first then I am doing the whole exhaust done. That way I don't have to worry about section by section.
