jbp vortex header

Looking for a jbp header, but i can not find them to order online or used or anything.

I read they're not the best for power but I'm just looking to make my car sound really good and from what i have seen it does that well.

can't order from jbp with out being a dealer unless I'm over looking the spot.

im not sure if it would lose power over a stop manifold , c'mon guys, the piping is bigger, and yes, it sounds killer, if i found one for like 50 bucks, id be tempted, and for they guy trying to buy one, if you get one, i want vids, your car is gonna sound badass! lol

They lose a ton of power and aren't worth it at all especially with how much they cost. Car also had high knock.

i just want it for the sound. Im not worried about less or equal power.

It seems like somewhere someone would be selling one cause it seems like no one keeps them on.

This sites pretty biased on the header, there are also tests that show an increase in power, aside from the ONE test that showed a decrease. I decided against it bc of the installation/firewall issues

Yea I have that header. I did notice a HP loss. But for the sound it's worth it. Install is a nightmare tho. Terrible memories. I've been wanting to get the ZZP long tube now for the longest time - because those have a rumble too, but not as distinct as JBP - but I told myself I would never take this header off once its on because of the sweat and blood that went into the install.
