Is there a difference in quality/performance? Which is "better?" What do you guys think?

lol. my man Charlie knows me and my situation i got goin on here lol. Won't piss of my parents but i'll still be satisfied when i floor it as i hear. The ARH system comes with the pipes all the way back to the mufflers right? Whereas the JBA headers is only the headers?

that definitely explains the difference in price. Now i gotta ask you, do you see the price going down at all in the future? 1700 hundred is a bit pricey. 1000 to 1200 would be great.

Most dont realize steel costs have gone up 12-25%. I dont see them coming down, but for what you get and the quality it is priceless. Look at my ARH pics and you can see for yourself.

American Racing has some good looking headers. But i went with the JBA Longtubes and they look very well made as well. They also really brought my car to life. :nutkick:

Jba has no H or X. No 02 extensions. I would rather have ARH for the whole package.

Did you have custom pipes made to connect to the rear mufflers?

I originally had the magnaflow catback on it. So after the headers, a 6 inch section was cut out and fabbed to mate up with the x pipe and the end of the headers
