don't know what a wrx sounds like but i think they are ugly, fast but ugly!

 

Horizontally opposed motor?

 

Lol nick what if i get this header? my head isnt coming off to put it on. lmao

 

unequal length header

 

just wait til i throw the turbo on mine n u can buy mine, we will be pulling ur head by then lol

i was meaning to say it sarcastically, like bein a ******* with the answer. the whole point of this header is for equal length so thats what relates between both cars so i said something that didnt... idk, i got it lol

 

Do you have any headers left? If so, price shipped to 08723, NJ US please?

 

true dat. lol

 

fixed

 

DING DING DING we have a winner!









*unequal flow would have been accepted as well.

 

lol, wait, this jbp is equal length supposedly right?

 

Supposed to be, but it's not.

I dont care about the power gain or loss, I want the sound.

 

There are gains! END.

 

lol the only gains would be from the primarys being a little larger... but you could get better gains out of a long tube header and a dp.... end of story. this is also alot more than a normal header dp combo u can get ... even though its an amazing sounding header ( i love the sound).

 

Unless for some reason you are absolutely forced to run a stock fitment downpipe, and you absolutely can not have a short tube header i see no reason to use this save for the sound. Its relatively expensive, its relatively difficult to install, and based on the sound it makes its obviously not a very equal flowing header, it may be equal length in the strictest sense of the word but the dramatically different contours and number of bends in each primary handicaps any benefit them being equal lengths would offer.

I may be wrong, but i dont believe that JBP has ever refuted the fact that this headers unique sound is due to its uneven flow from cylinder to cylinder.

 

ok, money isn't a problem, and i don't care about sound!!!!!!! i am looking for the biggest hp gain!!!!!! would this header and dp be the choice or a shorty header and dp????

 

Will the header fit on an 06 SS/2.4??

And will the unequal tube lengths cause any problems later on down the road with the engine?

 

well i am selling mine! i was never installed on a car, just been sitting around in my room since the group buy! i bought a different exhaust system! i was gonna go with the full jbp exhaust system but its too expensive and not the right set up for the mods i am going to run, i am willing to sell it for the group buy price + shipping if anybody is interested!

 

Might be interested. Do you have pics? and how much is group buy price?

Is your car 2.4?

 

um... i don't have pics, but all the pics from JBP and the price are somewhere in this massive thread. no i don't have a 2.4 i have the SS\SC 2.0

 

I believe this header has 1.75" primaries which current wisdom suggests is overkill for a 2.4, and may in fact be detrimental. (This opens up a huge can of worms regarding back pressure. See my closing statement.)

Get a LSJ downpipe and a good cat-back exhaust, and keep your stock exhaust manifold. You'll probably see more power that way, rather than the Jbp header with stock exhaust. In any event, you would need a larger capacity downpipe and cat back to take advantage of any power increase that the jbp header has to offer, otherwise you are spending bucks for sound only. You could look at alternative downpipes but, keep in mind that the 2.4 is finicky with aftermarket downpipes. If you go that route, you may find that you'll get (a series of) cels that can only be permanently cancelled by using HPTuners, or similar tuning software.

I suggest you do some serious searching on these forums for exhaust info before spending your money on a (jbp or other) header. There are all sorts of countering opinons. Take your pick.

 

there gonna be another sale soon??
i am looking into getting headers with in 2 weeks.

 

mine is for sale, never been used or installed, comes with all gaskets, and hardware! will sell for the sale price+ shipping, let me know if you are interested! its just been sitting here in my room for like a year now!

 

Interesting. If I were to go JBP, I wouldn't get only the header, I would go the whole nine yards with the 3" dp, etc. But like you said, it's something to think about.

 

1 5/8" primaries, 3" formed collector

 

If you wanna know how the header does in comparison to the stock one, take a look at my header comparison thread in two weeks. I'm swapping from the stock header on sunday to the jbp, gathering notes and then doing the dyno on the same tune as the one set for the stock header. that way, I (and you) will know if it's a restriction of flow or not.
