Yep, I was checkin' that out last night. I was pretty dissapointed;
I wonder why JBA took that tack? Automotive headers have a lifetime
warrantee, but the truck headers are only covered for 100% for a
couple of years, and every couple of years, the percentage goes down
and down until it ends up at about 23% or so after 6 years. Just
because its going to be on a truck? What gives? They call it a
"lifetime warrantee" and I guess it is, but its got a 70% deductible.
Also, I noticed that their warrantee is null and void if you race,
have nitrous oxide, or a whole list of other things. Strange. Do
they expect their headers to not be able to withstand the additional
stress of racing? Why else would we want 'em? :-)
So anyway, I was thinkin' about getting in on that deal, but after
checking out their site I'm not so sure now. (Sorry, I don't mean
to throw any cold water on anyone or the deal; I haven't completely
ruled out the JBA's myself, but there are some inconsistencies and
questions that arise...)
