JBA makes good products. If there are issues that are caused by the JBAs then yes part of the warranty is voided. (in reply to brilliantblackrt) Post #: 2

You might be able to find a dealer that will install Mopar headers and keep you under warranty but that is up to the dealer and their discretion. (in reply to brilliantblackrt) Post #: 4

JBAs are nice, especially for the price, but I'm more a fan of long tubes.  These are the ones I was looking at getting for mine: http://www.promotiontuning.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=124-733300S&Category_Code=0507ChargerPerformanceExhaustHeaders and http://www.promotiontuning.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=D30000&Category_Code=0507ChargerPerformanceExhaustHeaders Just not sure if i want 3" or 2.5" or cats or no cats.. seems to be the biggest differences between the two from what I can tell _____________________________ 04 SRT-4: 404whp/393 Torque 06 Charger R/T Hemi Tuned by Pro-motion Tuning (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 5

RE: exhaust headers - 8/9/2007 11:32:17 AM    Stroker Posts: 318 Joined: 6/3/2006 Status: offline The way the law reads it would be very hard for a dealer to claim that the headers caused the problem unless the problem was in the exhaust itself, ie exhaust leak. Now that doesn't mean they won't try, and they would probably get away with it because you would have to get a lawyer involved to get them to do right which would probably cost more then the repair. I agree, Mopar headers are good and most dealers that have a performance parts counter will waranty them without giving you the greef. (in reply to M0PAR or No Car) Post #: 6

I would tend to agree with you on this one.  The one "injury" they might be able to push right through, though, would be a burnt valve.  Burn the valves with other than stock headers, and I think you will probably get burned yourself.  dave _____________________________ (in reply to Stroker) Post #: 8
