RE: BBK shorty headers
Do a forum search. There are a lot of posts about this.
JBA headers are allright, but they are nothing special. They use 409 stainless, which is a cheap material that will rust on you.
The best longtubes are Dynatech, Kooks, and American Racing. These are all 304 stainless and top quality workmanship.
Headers and midpipes (H or X) are different things altogether. If you get longtubes, you MUST also get a new midpipe because real headers are not compatible with the OEM midpipe.
Midpipe changes aren't worth much HP. If you want the real HP gain then you will need the longtubes.

Al- You beat me to the Use the Search answer... [8D]
And like said above Go with LT's or stay with the stock. I can't be happier with my American racing (ARH) Long Tubes and O/R X pipe. ARH & Kooks are my recommendations
