Well whatever you do make damn sure u re tighten them every time u let it cool down for 3 times
I am a gmcm and the only thing i can tell u is to let a gm dealer put any parts on cause they really really frown on warranty when they see that there is mods done that werent done by a dealer. Just a little tip.

JBP is Horrible with fitment issues. I had their Intake and it would not fit AT ALL. It sounds like JBP needs to do some more R & D on their products before they sell them to customers. 
for you JBP!
for you JBP!

Reminds me of us J body guys over the years. I know the SS V6 headers never really fit on any of the vehicles, the cross over pipe never lined up. Waited for months and months to get a proper fitting pipe, gave up on that and went with a custom made set from a friend of mine for 1/3 of the price
I'm still trying to figure out why JBP is still allowed to be a site sponsor. I have never heard of anything good ever coming out of their shop. Mev is a GREAT salesman but that's it. For the most part I think he should stick to fixing Vacuum cleaners.

I have brought my issue up with Jonel. CSS.net prefers to stay out of it. Aparently we don't pay as much money as vendors; and we're easier to replace...

I have a JBP passengerside motor mount and I love it! Works and looks nice!! I also have the JBP control arm bushings, yet to be installed and from what I have seen and read, I may never install them. As for the header, I was checking the thread with all the headers available for the SS/SC prior to reading this thread. My first thought on the JBP Vortex header was it was a beautiful looking piece. My second thought was how the HELL did they get that to fit?!

I've heard pretty much all solid mounts give false knock. Sucks huh? We've got traction issues and the solution causes tuning and power issues, lol...

Sorry, I forgot to write j/k. I wouldn't mind having an SI as my secondary car so I can do what I want to my SS/SC and not worry about it.

Well I got the header in the car and the downpipe on but there are two more issues with this pile of ****. A...the flange got warped durning welding and i rounded out one of the allen bolts trying to pull it flush againt the head..B...two of the tubes wrap right in front of the stud holes where i need to put the bolts in. so needless to say i have a major exhaust leak. Im so pissed off about this header!
