eric et al,
The headers that I saw at the JBA factory looked great with minimal weld
spatter and good grinding.
On the same note,I paid 395.00 for a set of mild steel shorty headers
for my Jensen (440 chrysler powered) and when I got them I had to grind
out all of the exhaust ports, grind out the collector ports, go inside
the header and remove the cut off burrs from the 4 pipes welded inside
the collector, resurface the flange and then send them out to JET HOT
for a 175.00 coating. I was Pissed too! I called S&S (the header
manufacturer) and they said that this was normal but they would replace
them if I wanted them to. Since I had already "fixed" them I declined
their offer. Hopefully JBA will extend the same. I still havnt put the
Jensen's headers on so I dont even know if they fit yet...after that
experience I really thought the JBA way would be better. They have a
good rep here in San Diego.

Eric,
Right now, my truck is at the dealer getting a u-joint put in and thats
where
my headers are, in the truck. I dont recall having any boogered bolt
holes,
but the welds seem pretty rough and around the port holes, there is
popcorn.
In a few places the coating has runs in it, and the inside of the ports,
where
they meet the head, seem very rough. To me, it seems they did a rush
job on
these. I showe them to some of my friends. One has a 69 Road Runner
and the
other a 73 Javelin. They said they look pretty good esp for the price I
paid.
I still want to see what Jeff has to say.
