skeensSS Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I was thinking about putting some headers on my SS soon. I was looking at headers from JBA, SLP, and Borla. What do you guys think? Or is there a better one to go with? Also does installing headers void your factory GM warranty? Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCMFORLESS Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I run the AS&M's. There are more of a longtube style than shorties and seem to make good power and are well built. The only downside so far has been that they are blowing out collector gaskets and I am going to put in some copper ones on thursday to get it to stop blowing them out. I haven't had any experience with others, but the Other Guys headers (TOG's) are supposed to be nice as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I would not do shorties. Either get the long tubes (various), or mid length (TOGs). Bryan - I had the same issue with those gaskets. Blew mine after about 500 miles. Noticed it really bad after doing 120, or so, down the freeway. Put coppers in and haven't had any trouble since. Good thing they are reuseable also. Been off a few times since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 The JBAs use a totally different gasket, similar to the stock manifold gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraman Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I like my AZ speeds.....sounds better, but with every mod I have done so far....I really have not felt much if any difference. Maybe coming form a rear drive sports car that I judged horsepower gains by the amount of wheelspin has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimsoftball Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have heard good things about TOG's. I have the JBA's right now, I know they are not the best, but anything is better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I bought some ASMs have not installed them yet, but they look nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EppmanZ06 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I'd go with the AS&M headers as well. They're saying to expect to do some welding though, so for some that may be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
