I like the BBK's. Try some safety wire for those header bolts. Takes a little time to install but its sooooooo worth it

go ceramic coated whatever you do.



I have Ford racing shorty's and love them, although bbk now offers full-lengths, worth checking into.

I put JBA unequal length shorties on. Headerbolts were a tight fit and had to "massage" the collector to clear my stearing knuckle... but damn they're pretty. I can't say I really noticed and real performance gain, or difference in exhause note... but it looks good under the hood... and even if they are good for 15 horse, i'm not sure i'd tell the difference.

^ Which is why equal lenghts are important. They optimize the exhaust pulses and give a LOTTA more power, especially in a long tube version.

Anyone know of "HTS" coating by MAC long tube headers? Is that ceramic coating? If not, is that better or worse than ceramic coating?
