Anyone use JBA or BBK headers on V6??

Is one better than the other? The texture of the JBA is "raw steel" (instead of chrome or ceramic) and that's the one they carry in stock and recommend. I'm not sure if they're trying to push that on me just because it's in stock. BBK option is $20 more and comes with a choice of chrome(not good for containing engine heat) or ceramic but I've heard of them. I'm buying it tomorrow and either choice comes with the header gaskets and the-like hardware. Thanks in advance.

I have had the JBA's for years and love them. Back them, they also came in chrome, and in ceramic. I had the complete dual exhaust system installed by JBA in Kearny Mesa. Awesome stuff.

I should say not. I got the whole JBA dual exhaust system, along with a CAI & tune from Bama Tunes...your V6 is now fully awakened.

BTW, I went with the raw stainless steel version of the headers...nothing wrong with them after 4 years, and they are easily accessible or cleaning if that is your pleasure.
