Construction & Design

Constructed from premium stainless steel, JBA Shorty Headers are built to withstand the rigors of racing, towing, and daily driving. The mandrel-bent tubes maintain consistent diameter throughout bends, minimizing flow restrictions and turbulence. The thick, machined flanges ensure a precise fit and superior sealing against the cylinder heads, reducing the risk of exhaust leaks. The Firecone collector design is a hallmark of JBA engineering, combining the exhaust pulses efficiently to maximize scavenging and improve overall engine performance.

The raw finish not only provides a clean, classic appearance but also allows for easy customization such as ceramic coating or painting to match your vehicle’s style and heat management preferences.
