Dang, if I have to buy the mounts as well the Headers and H will cost me about 2000 bucks up here in Canada.

Why doesn't JBA mention you need the Steeda mounts on their website? I guess I should ask them directly...

 

I would like to know more info on this also, I plan on doin this mod in the near future (Id hate to have any surprises)

 

Nevermind, I saw the info I needed here.
JBA thread

 

From what I've heard you only need the mounts with the shorties.
I've had the longtubes for 6 months now with no problems. However, the mounts are pretty cheap and very easy to install when installing the headers. If you try to install them later, the headers will have to come off (at least the drivers side). So if you plan on mounts, do it while installing the headers, to save time and money if your having someone else do it!

 

Wait so, you've had longtubes and you havent bought mounts? What do the mounts do anyway?

 

Okay wait so.........
Longtubes=no mounts
shortys=mounts
anyone else care to chime in..?

 

WHO KNOWS!

 

It's a clearance issue.

 

I had the longtubes installed before I heard of the issue. The issue is for clearance of the steering linkage. I still decided to buy the mounts even though they aren't necessary with the longtubes. When I went to install them, I noticed that the drivers side header will have to be removed. That's going to be a chore so I have yet to install them. I'm just saying that if your gonna do it, save yourself from double work by doing them together.

 

Like 169stang said. The installation instructions from JBA recommends replacing the mounts.

 

My FRPP shorties did not require new mounts

 

You guys might want to check out these for a lower cost alternative.

FRPPs and BBK shorties have a cut out or avoid the steering linkage, the JBAs don't.
