does anyone recommend replacing stock headers with JBA headers or any other brand? did anyone change his/her car's headers with new ones? if positive, please post your story/recommendation/opinion.
Thank you
Yes, I'm runing the Snorkel, TRD CAI, JBA shorty headers, and JBA exhaust. Also had a custom tune on my UNICHIP to make it all work to its fullest potential. I'm very, very happy with this setup. Only thing left is a supercharger.... but that will have to wiat a little bit.
I say go with the JBA exhaust and either JBA headers (with ceramic coating) or if you want a lot of noise, the Doug Thorley long tube headers.

My aFe CAI and aFe catback make a nice combo! Good sound and more power!
How much more power do you figure you gained? I had the Downey Offroad conical filter with a Gibson cat back exhaust on my 4.0 Tacoma. It felt like I lost some low end torque but it opened up in the top end. The throttle response felt much better too... For my FJ, if I do anything at all, I will get the Volant with the powercore filter and the Afe exhaust. I am just concerned about losing my low end torque, afterall the FJ is somewhat built on its low end capabilities..... any thoughts?
The aFe is 3" but what about everything before it? I'll admit I don't know much of anything in the exhaust deparment, but wouldn't the benefit of a 3" system be unseen if there is any part of the system prior to it that is smaller in diameter?
