JBA® is one of the most trusted names in the aftermarket exhaust industry because of commitment to manufacturing excellence. JBA product designs are original and innovative and always deliver. Power, quality, fit, durability and smog legality are what JBA are known for. In 1987, those qualities were not present in the header or exhaust industry so JBA set out to build products to meet the needs of the growing street performance market.
