IIRC, Summit headers = BBK headers. Same exact thing. I run the summit shortys and love them.

Summit parts are generally name brand parts that have been relabeled. So use that to your advantage when trying to save a couple bucks. Just make sure you can figure out what the "real" brand is. No sense buying a Summit supercharger only to find out that it's a relabeled Powerdyne.... I know there's no "summit" blower but I wanted to give an example and I felt like bashing Powerdyne again

Summit headers are BBK headers, just in a different package. When I say it's the same, I don't mean that the quality is the same. I mean that it's literally the same product, lol. It's a common thing that happens all the time. There are factories that pump out the same exact pruduct (whether it's car parts or boxes of cereal.) They spend a portion of the day / week putting the product in one box with one brand name. Then they change the packaging and labels and continue to pump out the next company's product. The only thing that changes is the packaging and the price.
