Where do you find either of them? I've got a broken bolt on my exhaust, and if I'm going to pull one, I'll pull both heads, and if I'm going to go to that much trouble....
I'm short on my online Dakota performance parts sources.

Question #1. What for? Racing? Overall performance?
I have Gibsons on my 3.9. They claim their headers and exhaust systems are tuned for the way you drive. Sure enough, there is a great deal of oomph around 2,000 RPM, where the engine lives, and it will get out of it's own way. In fact acceleration is scary, compaired to stock.
I average high 18's to 19's MPG, depending on the season, over the 200,000 odd miles I've had them.

I'm sittin on a 2x4, so I should be good.
They are worth the money though, eh? I've got to pull the heads and redo the exhaust bolts in the near future anyway, perhaps I'll save up for some new headers as long as I'll be digging in there.

I ave JBA's and I think they are great, Those together with my flow master 40 series muffler give the little v6 a very throaty sound, and my performance is extremely good. I have a few other mods, so I'm not sure how much of a difference the JBA's have made. I put all of my mods on at the same time when I first had the motor rebuilt. My recommendation would be to get the headers, the flow is going to be much better compared to the stock manifold.
