I think JBA has a much better collector flange design than ARH. and JBA uses the best header gaskets on the market. Much better clearance also, they are both designed well with scavenger spikes in the collector. Just make sure you stay uncoated unless you're going for show. otherwise heat is held in the primaries preventing exhaust from exiting the headers quickly thus decreasing flow.

They arent even comparable. ARH BY FAR!!!!

Melson · 06-22-2010, 12:04 AM

I would also have to say ARH

SS 376 · 06-22-2010, 12:07 AM

ARH. It's worth the extra money to ensure they actually fit...

The 2010 Sin · 06-22-2010, 12:10 AM

JBA's fit great, took me an hour and twenty to install by myself no lift, quite comparable in quality build only difference is 304 and 409 stainless, and I dont plan on keeping this car longer than 10 years.. so im good with what i have.. If you plan on driving this car to the next stoneage then spend the extra.

JBA customer service is also second to none, ask them questions and comparisons. the collector flange is 1000x better than ARH and you dont have to worry about dragging on everything either.

If money were not an issue I would probably go with ARH.

Since money is an issue I would go with either KOOKS or JBA. Since I heard that the guys at KOOKS use to work for ARH, I'm probably going with KOOKS.

Then again I'll probably change my mind 10x between now and the end of the year when I'll have the money.

I have ARH and love it......

I have the JBA 1 7/8" Long tubes and they are great. I have had JBA headers on a few other vehicles and they always worked well and I never had problems with them. They have better pricing than others as they manufacture large runs of headers and not small runs like ARH and Kooks.

I was looking at Kooks but when I called and they said 3-4 week back order for Kooks and I called JBA and they said they had 100 sets on the shelf that took care of my decision.
