Does anybody ever run JBA shorty headers, I like the whole idea of long tubes but the headache of throw lights and codes seems a little much and also annoying. I currently have a K&N 57 series C.A.I. with the URD M.A.F. recalibrator sensor, URD Y-PIPE, and a Flowmaster super 44 3" cat-back system. Any info on anybody running shortys with a similar setup please let me know, have a good one yall.

I'm running Doug Thorley shorties with aftermarket cats, but will be switching to URD longtubes. The Thorlies are a bit more expensive but thicker gauge steel than the JBAs.

They are on.... We've just finished installing them and as far as I can see they are awesome. The fitting is just as described and following the directions is easy.
I can hardly notice that sound changed, maybe it's because of the S/C. Now I'll make some tests to feel the improvement.

Oops, I found some trouble with the 02 sim that URD shipped. Everything was ok, but the connectors are DIFFERENT %&*#Q(!@# No MIL on, but I guess that it will light up suddenly when the ECU finds there are no catalytic converters.

Anyone had that problem?

:Frusty: You are right, that was the problem. We were working at the wrong sensors, maybe because of the time at my pal and I finished the job, we did not notice that issue. . You know, by then, and after two long days under my sweet Taco and covered by grease and dirt, all we wanted was to and go to bed. Now all work is done are working awesome. Now the engine revs went back to normal, (they were over 1200rpm at idle w/o the sim) That the only symptom I noticed.

I can't tell there's a noticeable sound increase. Maybe it's the S/C, since it changes radically the engine's sound.

The power gain is great and of course looks incredible, now I'm waiting my TRD cat-back and URD SC pulley to get here.

Thanks a lot you guys,

you ever post a dyno post install? I’m currently running a TRD SC on my 13 and have a chance at a good deal on a set of JBA long tubes. Curious what it did for you.

how was your mpg affected? I only ask because this is still my daily driver. Appreciate it man
