Ok guys well I dropped my truck of at a friends shop last Thursday and I got the truck back yesterday with my custom header project completed. Needless to say I could not be happier with the out come of the project. So far the truck is still learning the new headers but I have done some force learning for the ECU and I got brave today and did some WOT runs 6 to be exact 3 before 30-40 miles and 3 after I also reset the mass air flow sensor to speed up the learning time and I have great results. Also I have not got a new tune for the truck so ill attach the fastest run so you guys can see what the truck is doing and now on the to good part.
Here is the part list
1- pair of ceramic coated JBA shorties Headers price 435.99 from socalmotorsports
2- Dynatech powercat 2.25'' Inlet/Outlet Converter part #329-79-400225 price 169.99 each from Jegs
2- 304 stainless O2 Bungs price 3.95 each from Mandel Bend Solutions
1- 10 foot of stainless 2.25 pipes price 85.00 from Matt's Auto
install cost and fabrication price is 606.50 25 hours of work for a total price for my project of 1475.37
All the piping from the collector back is 2.25 and it sounds sick. My friend cut me a huge deal on the install. They reused all the stock hardware including the flanges they cut down the flanges and sandblasted them to clean them up the flange on the old cats from the manifolds is now on the 2.50 collector. The flanges from the B-pipes were all cut down and sandblasted and refitted to the 2.25 stainless pipe the high-flow cats were welded in the stock reso location and bungs put in right after the cats. So now I think its time for some pics ill get better ones when I put the truck back on the racks next week but here we go.
Driver side Cat Driver side collector
Drivers side down pipe Drivers side down pipe
Passenger side Cat Driver side Cat
Driver side Collector Passenger side collector
Passenger side down pipe
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! whoa dude for that installation im not sure but they did do all the labor so its all good!! it still looks AWESOME and sounds SWEET!!!! id advise you to soap down the welds on the flanges to check for exhaust leaks. looks like they welded em pretty hot.
Sure sounds mean, no rasp, just deep and powerful.

Sounds awsome Man! Looks like you did your homwork on the parts good choice. Now hows would you say the sound changed with this setup and with these headers b4 cats? Just as loud? Little quieter or just less drone? im debating on saving up for cats for my new setup
well its totally different from the stock JBA cat-back listen to the vid in my sig and then the new vid you can hear the difference no rasp just a nice sick sound and I would tell anyone going with the JBAheaders thinking about high-flows and well I paid alot for the cats but they are proven performers I think Chris Toomnymods still uses the dynatech or at least he did on his 2.25 pipes. My logs have already improved and the truck isn't done learning. All I have to say is its freaking sick. Oh forgot I do have more drone about 65-70 but oh well I can live with it love the hotrod sound I have now.
Welcome to Club JBA LOL Nice setup you probably got a torque monster there.
