I had my titanium, coated JBA shorties installed today...
My very first thought, as I fired 'er up and gave a few revs... woah! Freakin' awesome sound! She revs harder and faster than before... and the sound... ah... yeah.. it's no V8... but it's damn sweet. The clip doesn't do it justice. I was not expecting such a fantastic improvement. It was just getting into rush hour on the drive home, but there was a noticeable increase in torque. Stop light to stop light was a lot of fun.
$285 for a 4 hour install (Total Car Care in Gresham, Oregon... great guys) plus the price of headers ($622 plus shipping) at http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/
Other mods include: K&N drop-in air filter and single GT take-off axle-back muffler.
Here's a clip on my premium redfire 05 V6 with sport appearance package.

oh... when I was leaving to go pick up my car today, the neighbor played catch up and drove up in his new screaming yellow V6... nearly identical to mine(minus my mods), only he had these interesting side guards on his doors (didnd't care for 'em). Well, now there's 2 'stangs in the cul-de-sac!

Looking and comparing the MAC headers to the JBA headers, it seems hard to justify paying 3x as much. I'm sure the JBA headers are better in some ways, but that's a pretty damned high price tag. I think I'll just wait for the MACs to come available.
Your ride sounds pretty sweet, though! :)

Flapjack... I originally ordered MAC headers, but found their customer service to be a bit sleepy (ie... not explaining why my order was delayed, not giving any indication of when they'd ship, not having really any knowledge about the product and 10 minutes on hold and forgetting about my call). Maybe I called too early in the day before the lads had their coffee. They were back-ordered for weeks, so I cancelled my order and have not regretted it. I turned to the JBAs after hearing of their excellent build quality in all of these forums. My installer was very impressed with the quality and had no problems whatsoever putting them on.
MAC may be very comparable and I've heard their quality has risen quite a bit. I just had a poor experience with their service on the phone.
And, thanks... I'm really enjoying the sound!
