Look at the bends. It's a horrible design. It doesn't flow well at all. Look at something like OTTP long tube header. Now that's a real nice piece that will flow the exhaust out.

Its good if your not really modded. If you have a TVS you loose power
Looks great and sounds great, but as far as performance...eh just don't get that "noodle" header.

that wasn't a very good explanation. I'm actually interested in more of the science of it, not just "it won't flow good"

Ask someone to put it on a flow bench then for you. I don't know what more of an explanation you could want?

okay, thanks guys just wanted some type of explanation about the design, but the flow-bench one was pretty catchy, so this design is a no-no

jbp is overpriced anyways.

Oh, lol My bad.

Anyway, Check this thread out if you want the truth about the JBP Noodle.

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...der+comparison

And stay away from JBP, they are overpriced on almost everything and shipping/ordering is a pain.

Stick with OTTP.
Good luck and welcome!

I can't believe how many people JBP duped with this POS! lol. Check out the Vibrant header. It is well made and has been dyno proven to give some of the best (if not the best) gains from a header.

I have this header for sound...

I had a vibrant header dp before and noticed a little top end loss, but not much, the sound is amazing though
