Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on these. I just spoke to my rep at BBK, and they currently have a 4th gen hemi truck in the shop for R&D. They are scheduled to begin working on the new flanges late this week, or early next week. They told me they would call me personally when these are ready to go, so cross your fingers that they get it done quickly. I know many of you are tired of waiting on JBA, so this is going to be a great alternative for the guys that dont want to spend $1500 on the ARH longtubes or wait 1-2 months for a set of JBA's.
That sucks, but I'm going to wait. I've been so close to pulling the trigger on JBA, but I just think they are overpriced. $400 for coated mild steel seems to be more appropriate. I wish JBA could do better on their prices.
OK, these have already been sent in for chrome plating and ceramic coating. This process will take about a week, then a week to box everythig up and have them ready to ship. End result, these are expected to ship the week of the 22nd or the 29th. They said they wont know an exact date until they get them back from having them coated.
I spoke with them last week which is when they said the headers were assembled and at the coating company getting chromed and ceramic coated. I will follow up again today.
I just realized that I did not update this thread the other day. I spoke to BBK again on Monday, and they are still expecting these to ship before the end of the month. They did not have them back from being coated yet, but they dont see any reason why these will not ship by the end of the month.
Bad news. I was just told that they dont expect them to ship until the 20th now. I will be removing the headers from the site until these are officially in stock and ready to ship. I dont know where their mis information is coming from, but I am not going to keep everyone waiting on these.
So any news with these?? I am def ordering a set of stainless JBA's or these in ceramic when they become available. What is a realistic life expectancy of the BBK's since they are mild steel? I drive maybe 6k a year on my truck and do no towing...
That was the latest ETA they gave me as well. I pulled them off the site until they are in stock and ready to ship. I plan to call them again on the 7th to confirm that they are ready.
