Pertronix, headquartered in San Dimas, Calif., has been a leading supplier for over 40 years in the electronic ignition business serving the automotive performance, industrial, agricultural and marine markets. Pertronix’s exhaust division began in 2000 after acquiring Ermie Immerso Enterprises (Thunderbird Products). The Patriot brand was added in 2001 to cover the company’s growing line of Street Rod and Muscle Car exhaust products. The company continues to manufacturer air-cooled VW exhaust under the Thunderbird brand. The original Doug’s Headers, a 51-year-old header manufacturer, was added to the company’s exhaust division in January 2005.
JBA has been a cutting edge development and manufacturing company for over 22 years in header and exhaust product designs for late-model emissions-controlled vehicles. [12/2/2008]
