debating on putting my header on
On the whole, poly mounts thing.
I have the TTR top mount, full pollys in everything. Yes there are vibrations, but unusable mirror? Something tells me they were installed incorrectly if you're having that bad of vibrations.
On start up, the car vibrates a little bit, then it calms down at idle. You can see the rearview mirror shake a -little-. After a few hundred miles of driving, I didn't even notice the slightest bit of a difference. I probably just got used to it.
For $220 for everything, they were damn worth the money. i just think people are nuts when they say it's "insane vibrations"
i'll get video some day and post up.
Also, I'd deal with the pain in the ass myself and install it if I were you. you spent the money already, it's a unique piece, so why not?

That was my experience, they were installed with a hydrolic press along with poly cab's and i even ran a poly motor mount to. This was before i was a vendor, if you say the vibes aren't bad your lieing to yourself or you have a thicker rear end then me

I weigh 125lbs and have a small ass; maybe I'm just crazy. All I know is I can see out my review mirror and after 10k miles, I hardly even notice the vibes, except on start-up.

Wait, now that I think about it, I still need to do my trans mount. That's still sitting in the house waiting to be installed... I don't see it making THAT noticeable of a difference, but I guess I WONT know until it's done, eh?

I have the JBP header on right now. I was tuned last year for the 2.9" with my GM header and cat back. It was nice, real nice actually!
But now that I look back, it seemed to be "peaky"...didn't really wanna open up till higher rpms.
What I do like about the JBP is that it gives you a different powerband. Low to mid rpm is where it shines...pulls like a horse! But once you get to 5,700 or so it seems to be the same as my old gm header, kinda... But I drive my car at the 2,700 - 5,500 range most of the day...so yeah...it suits me well.
So, at the end of the day, its all in your preference of driving I guess. High end power, or low end grunt? As with any mod there will be pros and cons...its up to you to decide. But like I said before the install is not that bad...just takes time...
I love this header, and do not have anything bad to say about the quality, install, or anything.
If anything, try it out for a week or two, and you can still go back to your old setup.

yea i have on as well and it sounds great at all rpms. ive had my parents drive it by the house at good speeds and high and low rpms...sounds grumbly all through the rpm range all the way to redline. the low and midrange torque is amazing and even at highway speeds there is a definite increase in torque compared to stock. install it and have fun
