JBA Headers
I found these headers for the Chevy SS and wondering if these are the ones people have used on the Caprice how are they compared to the Kooks?

Re: JBA Headers
I bought a set from JBA, which came with the cats, as well as their axle backs (mufflers). I originally wanted to get their full cat-back system but JBA had issues getting them from their factory in Mexico so settled for the axle back and will get the rest fabbed. I also have to get the tips extended.
I haven't been able to install them yet but they look well built and have nice welds. If you want a full system, check with JBA directly as sellers like Summit as just drop shippers and don't carry stock.

Re: JBA Headers
Thank you for the input, I am looking to just get the headers and fab the rest, either going 2.5 or 3 inches since looking to add a blower in the future.
Re: JBA Headers
Did these ss headers end up working for you? Little to no custom fitting and how does it sound?

Re: JBA Headers
Headers themselves should bolt right up. Midpipes might be a little different (potentially some added length under the car to accommodate the PPV length), and axle back connections if using stock mufflers or a PPV specific axle back will probably be different.

Re: JBA Headers
I still haven't installed them but they are supposed to be a direct bolt-in as the SS and Caprice as essentially the same.

Re: JBA Headers
Finally getting the rest of the parts collected decided to go with 2.5 instead of 3 for ground clearance and that this is a DD so we will see. Hope to get this done after the 4th.
