unequals here i have had both and dont see any reason in equal shorties, the extra 1-2 hp from them is not worth the extra heat and diffacultty checking plugs at the track. and bbk's are better quality then mac, ive had both brands.

I have BBK equal length ceramics. Nice quality and fit good. Very happy w/ them.

ORIGINAL: cepowers18

Whatever you do, when you buy the headers, buy aftermarket gaskets too. I don't know if MAC or FMS headers come with them, but the BBK headers did not. I cracked every port on my stock header gaskets, and then I bought Fel Pro gaskets.

Also, the bolts tend to come lose like onyx said, so I would recommend Stage 8 locking bolts. I have the Fel Pros and Stage 8 bolts on my headers and haven't heard a peep
My BBK's came complete. Gaskets, bolts, and the flange bolts as well.

They run about $50-60. Well worth it.

Good question. I got mine from Summit. Unless I accidentally threw the gaskets away thinking they were the stock ones, mine didn't come with them. lol, oh well I guess.
