I was reading from another guy who done a Dyno with a Auto and his numbers
didn't jive
With KB Dyno numbers. His was 194HP not 181HP with KB. Hmm! That man and
his
Equipment is not impressive at all. His Root SC are made in Sweden and very
cheaply
Made.

Subject: RE: DML: Headers...

Well.. let's see.. I live near JBA, looked at their
product. Have witnessed installation of 3 sets of JBA,
know the performance numbers before/after the
JBA's...with/out the infamous Y pipe... I know the price of
the JBAs... of the 3 people I personally know that
have/had the JBAs, all said they wished they'd gone with
Positive Performance.

Gibson's are very similar to JBA headers, so no need to go
into the Gibson's.

I have 2 sets of Positive Performance headers because of
this...

FYI-- Gibson makes exhaust/headers for most everything
       JBA makes exhaust/headers for MOST american muscle
       cars/trucks-- but are geared more towards MUSTANGs
       than anything else.
       Positive Performance makes OEM headers for late
model
       MOPAR vehicles only. Though they do custom work
too.
       4.7L's you'll be running Positive Peformance
       eventually. You think JBA is going to hassle with
       a DODGE prototype header...

    The only header I haven't seen yet, is the new KB. And
as far as that goes, I wasn't impressed with the KB I saw
on a 5.9L Durango last Saturday. SMALL tubes, with pinch
curves near the header bolts.
