I've had their long tube headers for a few years now and they've been great. I have a few friends that run them as well with great success.

Ive never had an issue with bbk products on any of my cars except with an off road x-pipe on the 4.6 motor in combination with stock headers and flowmaster 40 series cat-back. That would be a whole different thread to explain the issues i had. I've run their throttle body's, headers, and mid-pipes on both of my 5.0's with no issues. I currently am running a bbk 70mm TB and their strut tower brace on my 4.6, they have both been on the car for a little more than 5 years with about 30,000 miles with not issues. Overall, I would recommend their products.

Their longtubes i dont know about. The short tubes i had developed a pretty bad leak and the shop that fixed then said it was a very common problem with them.

Where are you reading? Competitors sites?

BBK is a fine product.

I have also had great luck with BBK products. I would recommend them to others.

I do laugh though at a few of the posts above... there was a pretty significant BBK bash on this forum a few months ago. My tuner and I were laughing about guys bashing BBK because neither he nor I are aware of any guys having problems with any BBK parts.

I'm not saying there aren't "better" headers or throttlebodies on the market, but the quality of the BBK stuff I have used has always been very good and a GREAT value.
