JBA makes quality headers. They were strictly a Ford shop until several
years ago. They make one of the best shortie style headers for Mustangs
with thick one piece flange.
I am probably going to get them coated by HTC or JetHot. I have a set =
of
coated long tubes and it makes the engine compartment MUCH cooler.

Jon,
I dont know about the summit headers, but the JBAs are
said to fit the R/T,
which no one else will admit to. Stainless usually
doubles the cost of a
set of headers, so 150X2=3Dapprox 300.00, @ 313.00 it
seems to be a reasonable
deal. My main interest in JBA comes from its location
(30 minutes down the
freeway from me) and favorable user reports (guys at
work etc.) AND the
fact that they say they were specifically desinged for
the R/T (well see).
I guess Im pushin it, but the price seems right!
