JBA Performance Exhaust Co - Header

Looking to replace the header on my 1999 XJ. Read a lot about borla, banks, edelbrock, etc...

Does anybody have experience with JBA Performance Exhaust Co?

Quadratec offers their product for $ 386 (stainless steel)

My budget is around 500$. I also plan to install a Magnaflow Catalytic Converter, so that leaves about 400$ for a header...

So what would you spend my money on :rof:

It looks just like the APN header which goes for less than $150. I would get the APN and have it jet coated.

JBA makes top quality products that aer well engineered. That being said, the APN header is more than adequate for the 4.0 at about 1/2 the price. I'd go that route and use the remaining cash in your budget for some more parts.

I live outside the USA and with our local 4x4 group we are doing a group order on quadratec to cut down on shipping costs...

So my question is which header on Quadratec.com is the best value for my $400??

Quadratec.com doesn't offer the APN header. The rugged ridge header looks very similar to the APN. But i also read that the rugged ridge quality is questionable...

APN for $139 on ineedparts.com


Rugged Ridge $199 on Quadratec
