I really don't know what to tell you here . I know taht they are claiming
17-22HP and like 20-25lb/ft of torque .

I would throw that question to those in the group that have had experience
iwith headers on their Daks , specifically , shorty headers on a 4x4 .

As I understand it , Jeff at JBA tells me that the standard headers that
are stainless steel , are not polished and have no real finish . He says
that after a few uses and heating/cooling periods , that they will most
likely turn a very dark color , almost black , but that they will NOT rust
. He says that these are designed for those who are looking for performance
. He says that the coated version not only reduces underhood temps , but it
is also polished to a chrome-like finish .
I would think that they wouldn't be affected by any water or debris such as
mud , but I'll ask later on today in my daily talk with him , heh heh .
