Hello All,
After reading Lonnie's post about JBA contacting him to see if he wanted to purchase the rest of their 5.0 MN12 inventory I figured it was time to ...t or get off the pot. With only two choices, Mac (thru SCP) or JBA, unless I wanted to make some major (for me) modifications, I had better decide. I found 2 sites that carried the JBA shorty in Stainless for $464.97. I chose SuperExhaust Warehouse and ordered on July 11th:

Date Ordered: 2006-07-11 19:50:46
Shipping Method: Ground Delivery
Note the part # and the date. I called them last Friday after no shipment had been completed after 4 days. I inquired if there were availability issues. After a roundabout answer (unacceptable) was given I requested to cancel my order as Summit claimed to have stock for $25 more and I wanted to be sure and get them if they truly are going out of production. I was then placed on the phone with a manager who told me there was availability for the ceramic coat but they were still hoping to locate a set of standard Stainless 1645s. I saw no reason for coating on a Stainless header nor did I want to have to pay for it in case the headers could not be found so I pressed the issue of cancellation. I was asked if in the idea of good business relations would I accept the upgrade at no additional charge if SuperExhaust Warehouse could not fill my order as accepted. I agreed as long as the shipment was completed within the next week. Here is the shipment confirmation:

I am impressed with this companies follow thru though I did have to make some noise. Their price on these headers $631.97.
This experience does re-enforce Lonnie's contact from JBA. It appears if you want a choice of 2 products you better make it now!
