Default Headers

i was wondering if MAC headers were any good. If not, what are the best headers for a decent price? And a good mid pipe?

Mac = bad quailty, fitment issues

BBK= decent quailty (not the best) and no fitment issues.

You decide, but whatever your decsion, make sure you get the ceramic coated ones.

I got BBK LTs here and I can't complain. Their quality is very good and they are the middle man of headers, for around $500. I got them because I didn't want to deal with fitment issues and I knew they were good quality.

Yup, they are a PITA. My mechanic had a hard time, lol, if that gives you any idea. Some of these guys have done it themselves. If you can lift it and have the tools I would say definitely go for it, because you will save a **** load of money that way.

Install is going to average about 4-5 hundred.
