Please answer the following questions before adding to cart to help us provide you with customized for your specific vehicle.
Ditch your tired, restrictive, inefficient stock exhaust manifold and let your engine breathe freely with performance headers. JBA Cat4ward Headers unlock your motor's power potential for unrestricted, white-knuckle performance gains.
The Achilles heel for engine performance is the exhaust. With JBA Headers, you get a boost of up to 10-25 tire-turning horses out of your motor. The steel tubing is mandrel-bent with extra-large exhaust ports and a leak-free, laser-cut 3/8" thick flange for fast exhaust flow.
You also get JBA's patented Firecone merge collector (depends on model), which quickly moves spent gasses out through your tailpipe. JBA exhaust headers let your engine breath easier, giving you more power, torque and throttle response.
All mounting hardware is included for a do-it-yourself install that doesn't void your factory warranty. 4 finishes to choose from. Of course, your JBA Headers come with a 1-year warranty.
Our 220+ JBA Cat4ward Headers customer reviews have an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 stars. To see specific reviews about your vehicle, please select your year, make and model from the drop down above.

Headers look great under the hood took a lil over 3 hours to install I used hyper temp silicon instead of gasket and its leak free I can feel the increase in horsepower and torque not much in sound but i'm sure it'll be even better once convert over to true duals and fuel economy also better great purchase ;)

If you are installing these on a Nissan Titan, buy new oem gaskets and use them. The JBA gaskets are garbage. The headers are great. They really made my engine come to life. They look and sound great. I also upgraded my bpipes..you need to on a Titan, or your old cats will fail over time. I highly recommend these headers..I purchased the titanium ceramic ones, and am very pleased. My truck sounds awesome!

Great looking product that was delivered right on time. Installation was a bit difficult to say the least. Also you need to ask someone on how to remove and re-install the passenger side engine mount. Just an FYI.

how long should it take an experienced shop to install?
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 18, 2013 5:30 PM
Hi, My best guess would be 2-4 hours depending on the shop. Again, it's just a guess and any repair NEVER takes an exact amount of time. Studs snap, leaking hoses are found, and all manner of issues can and do come up. It really comes down to the shop and the individual tech performing the job. Even if it pays 4 hours of labor to do it, the tech might take as much as 6 hours or as little as 2 hours finish the job.

Are the JBA factory supplied Exhaust gaskets as bad as I have heard and read about them? If so, can you suggest a good quality graphite or stamped metal gasket? Are the silver ceramic coated shorties bright and shiny like polished stainless or are they dull and gray? I prefer shiny! Has anyone experienced ANY fittment issues relating to cylinder head stud line up and or pipe flange line up problems? Thanks! Michael in S.C.

Answered by Nathan S. — Nov 09, 2012 9:24 AM
Hello, The headers flow a bit more exhaust than the factory manifolds, but the difference in sound isn't going to be radical.

I have 5.3 GMC Yukon, do I replace the heat shield currently on my stock headers. Do I torque again after headers get hot? When do I torque again after installation and use. I have an edge evolution and a throttle body spacer--will the edge reprogram or do I need to get tuned.

Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jul 06, 2012 8:27 AM
Parts that are not “CARB exempt” (California Air Resources Board) may violate emission control system anti-tampering laws, and may not be legal for highway use in certain states. Check here for details and a list of states that follow the CARB standard.

I have a 2005 Dodge Dakota with a 4.7L...will these require thermal wrapping with asbestos?
Answered by Nathan S. — May 21, 2012 1:45 PM 2008 Dodge Charger
I usually don't recommend header wrap because it can cause cracking. A better option would be a ceramic coated header as both the inside and outside of the header are insulated. Ceramic coated headers also have better flow characteristics resulting in more power and better economy.
