JBP Vortex Eq. Length SS Header
For those that have been following our header design and testing will be happy to know that production is just around the corner. A completed header is now available for view both in person at the JBP showroom or on the website in the Cobalt/Redline section.
Please note that the header is not yet available for purchase until testing has been complete. So far, with current testing, (without tooting our own horn), all we have to say with regards to our header is WOW!
Dyno's coming soon!

Looks amazing. I don't think I could bring myself to spend $900 on a header though ($789 + tax)
Is there any chance of the price coming down (alot). I know there is a ton of craftsmanship into that piece but I don't see the gains being worth the money.

Wow that is one sick looking header!! Let me wipe off the drool.... But as stated above I could not see diving $800 for a header..
Don't get me wrong that is a great piece and someone spent a lot of time on it..

It does look nice, but i dont think i would spend 800$ on a header, not trying to bash, but i would like to see dynos compared to other headers out there, that are half the price.

Guys, I love the fact that everyone is justifying the looks of the header. But believe me when I say that I spent a lot of time making this header work, not just look good. The sound is unbelievable. Its pretty much like nothing I've heard from an SS.
Also, I'm not the least bit surprised that people are doing double-takes at the price. The price was actually cheaper before, by about $100CDN a couple months ago. I had to raise it because the manufacturing cost was too high, we were paying ppl to buy `em.
I wish I could lower the price, but, such is the way w/costing. We'll try to do it differently Anyways, this header is essentially a long-tube header that fits into the stock location with a minor modification to the cylinder head and you can bolt up aftermarket exhausts. There's still enhancements to do to the unit we're using in testing (to squeeze every last ounce of power). I want to get at least 20~25WHP off a stock engine w/intake & exhaust only.

20-25hp from your header? that's awesome. Is there a down pipe your producing with this to match?
It looks mean as hell and im sure it performs that way too. If this header will put out about that much power the price is worth it. There other headers only make 7-10hp and they range from 299-499
