Anyone know around the So-Cal area a place that is good at installing JBA Shorty headers on a Titan?

I am in Rancho Cucamonga, but am willing to travel a bit to get it done right. I also want to make sure the people will remove stock CATs and put in magnaflow high-flow CATs.

i concur, these guys do exhausts on trophy trucks and all sorts of desert machines, but that's a pretty far drive for someone from cucamongaloid... hell, might as well make the trek down to Mission Gorge in San Diego to their headquarters... they'll certainly install on right and throw in a few JBA stickers, hats and party gifts with JBA on it...

Yeah, if I can't find anyone good around here to do it, I will definately drive down there. Only about 2 hours from here, which isn't TOO bad. Least I will be at peace of mind knowing its done right the first time.

actually, the JBA headquarters is down in San Diego just northeast of San Diego State University off of Mission Gorge Rd.... but, the JBA performance center where they do the install and engine/racing modifications is off of Convoy st... still in San Diego... here's the link: http://www.jbaracing.com/

You sure they do installs? Most companys dont do installs inhouse unless its R&D. If they do, do you have any idea what they charge?

?'s and no need to start a new thread:
1. Shorty's are for low end, and Long Tube is for High End right?
2. Whats the price diffrence on the JBA vs. Stillen?
3. And is there a major diffrence between the 2 or not?
4. Which High Flow Cat is the best to run?

Thumbs up to these guys Brian is at the counter - very knowledgble, Richard is a good guy as well they have a great shop up there in Vista, if you dont feel like making the drive 4 Wheel Parts is up in your neck of the woods and they can do the install as well. Both of these locations are JBA dealers

Not that I am worried about getting the install done, but can they do good? I know msot shorty headers are just bolt on, where our is welding..

If I've read correctly, the JBA install involves cutting off the cats and welding them onto their new headers, unless you plan on running some sort of aftermarket cats...

As for the price, it's a lot of work to R&R both sides AND re-install both cats...

last time I visited Richards he had a 10.5 tire twin turbo Chevy Nova chassis that he was personally building a set of manifolds for the turbos on this car, he had a mid 60's VW Bug that they were building a custom manifold back system for the turbo motor that was going into that car, they also have 2 LS powered sand rails in the shop having custom headers done on them as well - they know their stuff.

4 Wheel Parts can install just about anything as well - both locations are good just a matter of how far you feel like driving

There is also Stillen, who I think is a sponsor on this site - that from what I recall has an install facitlity and they are a JBA dealer as well



Yes our headers are a weld in application on the Titan, Nissan designed the factory manifolds with the precats/downtubes directly attached from the factory - so there is some welding and cutting involved
