JBP Headers

Anyone purchase and install the vortex long tube headers? I am planning on buying them within the next two weeks and want to know if they are worth it like I think they are. I wanted to see if they were worth the install and money over other manufactures. Thanks guys.

many threads about this man. i personally think they're a bit over priced, and don't sound that great. but thats my oppinion. although the gains people have seen are quite nice

i personally like the sound, just opinion not tryin to argue. altho they say the gains are better with more mods (like any header out there) but the group buy price $400 was cheaper than vibrant and i know tons ofppl that have that (altho it includes downpipe) but all in all id say its a very good header

the group buy is over you can only get the header from jbp for $630 or something. i tried to call the other 2 places he told me to in a pm he sent me about the headers. no luck dude. i am right here with you wishing i could get them for like $420 shipped.

Looks cool...flows just a tad better than say a vibrant or cti header. Not an option for me...I have a redline.

The problem is that if you leave the stock downpipe it still restricts flow; kind of pointless to have a high flow header to a stock restrictive downpipe.

The manifold clearances are different.
