    Huh, weird.@Dirtydeeds endorses the JBA headers over anything else. Maybe he might not anymore.

    He is pretty busy, so it might take a long while to hear back from him.

    Any chance @dirtydeeds could post up a photo of the dyno sheet from before and after? Specs on the headers and also, motor, tuner etc? Could care less about the numbers, more about where in the power band you're really seeing the difference. Can't just swap on a set of headers and go boom done. Smaller-diameter primary pipes tend to build more low end torque at low and mid range whereas larger diameter primary pipes kill low end torque. @ColoradoTJ For what you do with your tundra you'd probably care more about low and mid range than top end. Just my .02 cents I'm interested in them myself, with the blower motor it'd be fun. I think I'll have to have a set made though since I'm looking for more mid to top end.

    Enjoy bud. Long read, but it has what you asked for. I'm pretty sure Keith doesn't want to type all that out again.

    Yeah I've read some pretty rough reviews on jba in the past, but I think they've straightened up their production since. There is a dyno sheet on the different headers on the tundra. Let me see if I can find it.

    Even Thorley has some QC issues like Mike stated.

    A good read. That true dual setup would have to add some decent HP for sure. I haven't seen too many complaints here with the JBA's. Dyno results don't lie. I'll have to back off on my JBA sucks statement. "Sucks" is a little harsh anyways. I was just concerned about some of the reviews that I read about JBAs. I've seen some not so nice reviews with Thorley too though not nearly as bad as JBA. I haven't purchased headers in ages. If Keith sells them they can't be that bad. Definitely a nice looking setup. Thanks for dyno results Gary. :thumbsup:

    My truck has enough power. All I'm going to do is put something on for more sound. Can't have a tough truck that doesn't SOUND tough!

    What catback you looking at? Hard choice with so many that sound awesome.

    I would like a little more mid-high range power.

    Looking at Dirty Deeds but they're over priced as far as I'm concerned. The guys down the road from me can probably give me what I want for under $400 but I haven't asked them yet. We'll see.

    He has done a lot of dyno testing, sounds awesome and in most of his exhaust systems eliminated the drone. Worth a call to Keith for options and opinions.

    Yeah, I wouldn't go with another cat back personally. His are flow through, not chambered. Adds low end torque. @csuviper like how I said add... Same record, different song :laugh:

    Yes, I didn't think adding low end torque was in your vocabulary
