1)It will be LOUD w/ the Borla.
2)Connect the EGR before you connect it to the head.
3)Try not to curse too much

4)Have fun

I have the 4-2-1 FC header. It makes more low-midrange power. You will notice it during everyday driving.(you know what I mean, moreso than something that is tuned for more HP on the high end, lol)

The FS is a 4-1 design, and has beautiful tig welds. It makes more power on the high end. The FS costs a little more, but you get what you pay for

JBA has a new 4-1 header out now as well.

Not sure anyone has one yet, maybe you would like to be the first and give everyone some feedback

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Not to be mean, but I saw one of these at Modern Performance. Look at the flange that connects to the flex pipe, it is triangular. JBA includes a 3-in long pipe that DUMPS THE EXHAUST right under the engine.

It will not connect to the flex pipe.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Not mean at all, that's a good point and welcome feedback for sure

I'll have one next week and I'll have to look into it myself. Sounds like maybe JBA needs to revisit the design...

Hey while I have everyone's attention... does anyone have one of these? They're a little expensive I feel, however it appears to offer the only truly simple bolt on option for a Cat onto a Race Header... The Sean Hyland seems to end short enough to easily bolt in a High Flow Cat... and be emissions legal (since I don't have visual inspections here).

I wish I could see one in person. Anyone in the Wash, DC area with one (maybe I'm dreaming).

Thanks.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">actually CTZX3 had the SH with a high flow cat bolted between the flex and the header. it worked well, but it is on the expensive side... VERY expensive side.

its funny they seem huge till you take it outta the box and realize how small your engine really is...

anywho i have the steeda 4-2-1 i love it and have to say that running it for several months now i have not triggered a CEL with both O2 sensors installed...not to mention the EGR was located in the correct spot where as i hear on some other headers they are not.

i have to say this must be a picture of the prototype cause mine was hella nicer than this!

hey enemy ,

Ive got the 4-2-1 FC header with a magnaflow....and lemme tell you ...this sucker is L...O....U...D!!!!

nice power , just dont use it with an AEM CAI....see my other post under team tech!hahahah

but if loud is what you want , go for it..install is a peice of cake.The only prob I have is that its rusting now after like 6 months.I dont know if this could be avoided though.
