BBK Headers
 
Anyone run these and have any opinions on them? Thanks.

I have shortys... the welds are kinda sloppy in places...however I got a good deal on mine (PM me if you are intersted in BBK Shorts coated for 150.00 ;) ) I had to unbolt the drivers side motormount and lift the engine a little to put the drivers side in...passenger side I needed to remove the starter...then they slid right in. Routing wires on the drivers side was cake.. but on the passenger side there is a spot that gets kinda tight. As long as you keep the wires near the stock routing placements you should have any issues. Overall for the 150.00 I spent for headers, Y-pipe and OR pipe...it was well worth the money IMHO.

If you have Edelbrock shorties like your sig says i don't think there will be much of a gain. I've heard some real bad stories about the BBK quality on the headers. A lot of people have to drill out or egg the bolts on the flange that bolts to the head because they don't line up.

It wouldn't be for this car. Sorry I didn't mention that. It would be from stock manifolds.

I had them for a while, and they worked out well. I saw a good improvement in throttle response along with a nice power gain. On the flip side the bolt holes for the heads didn't line up the best. If you can get a good deal, then go for it. But if your going to pay full price, then I would go for a set of the Pacesetter LTs. I installed these this last summer and can't say enough good things about them.

Stay away from the BBK headers. The only thing worse than the quality control was the customer service.

I think I am going to go with some slp's.
