So after having them sitting in my garage for the past six months, I finally had a chance to get them installed today.

Since its been a bit rainy all day, I havent had a chance to try them out much.... but my temp are down according to my scan gauge, and I get a bit more throatier ( ) sound.

Did you weld them up yourself??


Thats the only thing that has turned me away from them, the install quotes! :'(

I have heard really good things about the JBA's.
I'd be interested to know what kind of power gain you experience.

I have had them on my Fj for almost a year now. There is a horsepower increase, but not a wheel standing difference. I had mine done in Beaumont, he is a JBA Tech and designed my whole exahaust system. Not a mark on any of it at the Hammers.

i heard hp is increased but low end torque is lost have you noticed anything like that?

 

[skersfan]

No, I have the AFE intake, the cats opened up to 3 inch with the whole system 3 inch.

It is a great horsepower gain with all of it, and the sound is very good.

No question I would do it again.

Quite a few at the hammers had scratches and dings in their exhaust systems, mine never got touched.

How much do the JBAs run ($$$$)???

 

[skersfan]

They normally have a group buy going on the other board. I do not remember what mine cost, but I got the group buy price through my local dealer. It seems it was near 699.00.

I've heard that it's tough to keep them from leaking - this not from an end user like SKERSFAN, but from an installer (who may not know what he's doing). Any thoughts on the validity of that statement?
