DML,
The JBA R/T headpipes are designed.
The Good news:
1.The cost will be 150.00 chrome plated, 200.00 ceramic coated.
2. They will be available in December.
3. They will be mandrel bent
4. They will go as far back towards the cat as possible, to install it
appears you will cut off the 1 foot of 1 7/8 dia inlet pipe on the cat
(Yaaay)
The bad news is as follows:
1. The diameter is 2".
2. They will not be available in SS. Chrome plated or ceramic coated 14
gauge mild steel only!
3. JBA needs at least 20-25 orders before they will move forward with making
these due to the new tooling/materials required and their R&D payback.
Im going to go for it, that makes 1
I need 20 more volunteers!! I know Jack H, Mike C, Chris S, Martin and Alan
were all interested prior to the actuality. Still interested?
Jeff will be posting a blurb about these pipes, and some may differ from my
blurb, so his is the final say!
Ill post to the registry as well (Tim, are you out there??)
I think it'll be an improvement, and probably a good one, and IMO the price
is reasonable!

DML,
Update on R/T headpipes.
1. Ive lagged for a couple of weeks on most everything but work
2. Talked to Jeff this a.m regarding headpipes for the R/T. He will be
gettingback to me soon with a date for the "fitting" as it were. They are
still looking to show a set at the LasVegas show in November.
3. I will try (as hard as I can) to get the downpipes in 2.25 dia stainless
w/coating, necked gradually to the 2" inlet of the cat (boy those cat inlets
are looong...)
4. I will update the list as soon as I get more info.
5. For the time being, could anyone interested in picking up a set of these
(not sure of the cost, maybe 2-300.00 for the stailess units) post your
desires so I can get a rude approx count of howmany sets they may need to
build.
6. I will be paying for mine (even though its a prototype) since the R/T is
of such limited production and they do not plan on making these a regular
production item so at least for the R/T Now is the time to get these or
?????
7. They are already working on a Y for the 98 Durango (can you say 4wd y
pipe for the DAK) so hopefully all you non R/T guys can get yours from JBA
soon too!
for now,
later

Hello DAKsters,
I talked to JBA last week concerning their "soon to be released"
down-pipes. They do not (yet) know what size pipe they will use. They
are leaning toward 2" (too small in my opinion). They left me with a
lot of unanswered questions concerning these pipes - yet they are
scheduled for release in November (at the SEMA show). They did tell me
that due to the differences between the R/T and the regular (Dak, Ram)
pipes, the R/T flavor will be a limited, one-off run just for us list
members.
Later,
Russ Selkirk
