: Who was part of the Group Buy for JBA Headers in 2005?

That was surely one of my favorite group buys, a great deal on the JBA Headers. I purchased the titanium coated for my 01 Sequoia. Well its been 4 years since we've installed them, most of you may still have the same vehicle that the headers were installed on. I would like to hear your feedback about the product now that such a time has passed. I can tell you one thing, my headers don't look as clean as they once did when I took them out of the box, if anything they have a different shade of color on now!

Has anyone experienced bad gaskets, exhaust leaks, (around the connections of the headers), etc?

Here are 2 pics, one of the brand spankin new headers and the other of my buddy trying to work his way into the engine bay. Good times..

In my experience the expensive ceramic coatings most header manufacturers offer with their headers is not worth the price because the longevity is only a bit better than a good sandblast + rattle can spray job with something like aluminum colored Spectra.

looking back, you're right. i think i would have opted for the standard header instead of the ceramic coating. theres nothing but rust and exhaust impression from the heat on my headers now.

how about anyone else? what do your headers look like now?
