JBP Vortex Eq. Length SS Header
Hey Mev just remember that you promised me the next header.
then I'll have the complete 3" JBP exhaust header, downpipe, & Cat. back.

and what type mod to a cylinder head is "minor", elaborate please
Chrome lame stainless is the **** nice looking header.

If so ill pay the money i like quality products

Hmm, I'll have to think about that. Our dump is 3.0" so, I'd have to do a special run of 2 1/2" flanges... It's a possibility..

Yea.. will it, will it?!? So curious.. and if that's 20hp just on a stock motor, that's sick! Us modded guys will be even more.
JBP,
I can't get over how sick that header looks. Long tubes crammed into stock sized manifold. I'm assuming we can purchase any DP that goes from 3" collector to 2.5" to fit to aftermarket exhausts. It seems most of the headers have a 3" collector

- The entire header is equal length. Nothing like this exists.
- The primaries are all tuned to an engine that will be modified with a 3.0" intake, and 3.0" exhaust at sustained response from 3000-stock redlined.
- Each primary is 1 5/8". Large in comparison to stock.
It's with these points that one can begin to see where this header may be beneficial to them.
if this thing makes 20-25hp.. i'll buy one... is there a DP to go alonhg with this header?
And wouldn't mind having a 2.5" collector
I think the header should come with the downpipe, and be available separately if people want to go that route. $800ish for a header and downpipe that makes 20-25whp would be worth the money in my eyes.

Damn..if this all works out, all I will have to do is come up with a decision on a good cat-back..I wonder what shippin on this to jersey would be??

I already have a 2.5" cat back exhaust, as do most people on here.There should be two downpipe options, one that tapers out at 2.5" to meet up with most catbacks. Another to meet up with peoples 3" cat backs. Most of the other companies are offering these downpipe options, and in would be in your best interest to fit more applications with just a minorc hange to the downpipe.

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.

I dont think he plans to get 20-25 just from the header. if you read carefully it says "i want to get at least 20-25 hp on a stock engine with intake and exhaust only." well a exhaust could mean a header, downpipe, race pipes, and a catback. if that is what he means that could get expensive for 25 hp in my opinion. sorry if i took what u said wrong and that is not what you meant.
I'd like to see the dyno...but with a car that has a smaller pulley (for the LSJ guys). Preferably a car with a 2.8", stock exhaust. Most people are doing pulleys before exhausts anyways. Also, why so many wanting 2.5" flange? Most donwpipes are 3" at the top and 2.5" at the outlet so it is only what the inlet of the downpipe that matters.

damn it's like 4 times as much as most other headers, maybe if it were like 2 times as much because its twice the gains...but 4 times as costly...damn
looks sick and all but i don't think i could justify it, a stage kit from Cobalt-Addiction of the same price would do so much more performance wise.

Sick ass lookin hear but for the price i could get a stage kit and push more power then wut it will give me. Deff. need a price drop or a DP with it. No Cat with 3"in inlet/outlet
