Anybody here have JBA long tubes on their car? I know Kooks and American Racing are probably top shelf but can't afford to drop$1,000 to $1,500 on exhaust. Have considered BBK ceramic coated but would rather have 1 7/8 inch.
Any info greatly appreciated.

Good friend of mine has the Jba and is more than satisfied. I would on the size though. Bigger is not always better. Kooks advised me to go with 1 3/4 Helped with low end grunt of the 5.0. Shaun from AED posted recently ithe SVT forum a very good article on this subject. I couldn't find the article. I'll kep looking.

However, You ought to call JBA and ask their opinion of what size would be best for your set up.

I found the article by Shaun

Thanks, I'm going to call JBA and get their input. Thanks for finding the article, I always believed that bigger is better. After reading Shaun's post I can see that's not always the case.

Does anybody have any input on a shop in the Ft. Worth area that will do the install? I do not have the facility at this time.
