Header Idea

I have found a guy that is selling a set of JBA Short Tube headers for a 5.4L engine that have never been used. They are still brand new and in the box.

I'm running the Roush Non-intercooled S/C on my truck now and I'm thinking about getting these headers. I know a lot of people have said to get long-tubed headers if you are running a S/C. I know these would help out a lot over factory exhause manifolds. Any thoughts or questions I should be worried about?

They are the JBA Stainless Steel, Titanium Coated headers.

Thanks.

as long as you are getting them cheap...

They will help with the supercharged application. Factor cats are still a larger restriction then the factory manifolds though.

Thanks Fatherford!!!

I also plan on upgrading to a higher flow cat later on. I'm getting the headers for $350! I feel that is a fairly good price!!!

You can get OBX Longtubes for 550, they dont include cats. However either way you have to buy high flows if you want cats.

I had JBA shorties on my 4.0L Ranger and felt a difference, it was N/A though.

475 plus shipping. Exact copy of Dynatech set up except you have to extend the o2 sensors yourself (no biggie) and like I said you need to buy high flow cats because the set up comes with resinators if you want cats. I run no cats and gots o2 mod so no check engine light.
