badmab header?

So, i've been looking into a badmab header for my lsj and i havent been able to find anything really recent on them. The older posts and reviews about them were very mixed and inconsistent ranging anywhere from amazing to absolutely dreadful. I was just looking for some opinions on whether or not i should look more into this header or if it's not worth it, please discuss

It's a good header for the price. I used to have one.

Make sure to look it over when you get it though....

They are known for warped flanges. Also, like mentioned above, avoid the gaskets that come with it.

I have one and haven't had any problems with it so far. Yes there is a difference in sound, I don't know what it would sound like since I did header/dp combo at the same time. IMO it's definitely worth the $155 I paid for it.

I have one. My first one warped after using for a couple months, and they still replaced it with a brand new one.

Brad @ Badmab has great customer service and will fix anything ever and from what I remember its a lifetime warranty. You cant go wrong for the money.


I also use to run one and loved it.
