If this is the one originally sold by SSautochrome, I believe it's manufactured by OBX...There is a bracket that connects the two flanges as shown in the photo for the JBA, in fact the header is almost identical. They originally auctioned these w/ a real pretty picture of a polished header, but these loose their bling real quick & would be better off painted to begin w/. $100 is too much for this particular one (if it is used)...I've also read that the ceramic coating on some of the cheaper headers is also a cause of cracking welds (causing the metal to retain heat longer). Most of the cracking on this type of shorty header is due to insufficient bracing of the collector flange & the downpipe adding pressure/vibration to this area.
Steeda has a real pretty one also...anyone know if thats the one mfr'd by JBA for them?
