I don't know why alot of people say LT headers are hard to install. I had no problem doing it and it took me about 2 hours to take the old stockers off and the new LTs on. I say its worth it.

i love bbk long tubes, the good thing about bbk is that there perfect fit, easily spark plug access.


also longtubs are better for a high horse power engine 350 and up


shorties are good for a stock motor
hahaha i wish i had gotten the set that u got my spark plugs were a BI***

you dont want step headers, if your going to go with longtubes go with bbk, they fit great and they sound awesome. bassani and them are nice too but they're expensive.

Sounds like the BBK headers are going to be my best bet. I usually order from summit and jegs, but if there is anywhere cheaper then let me know. I will be doing the exhaust over winter break and I believe I will be going with 2 chamber flowmasters. I thought real seriously about some others but I am comfortable with these and I don't have the money to take them back off if I don't like them.

yea bbk is awesome, really good priced for the quality, i dont order from jegs they're too expensive and summit is cheaper anyways, jegs and summit both offer free shipping but thats because they charge you a handling fee, but even summits handling fee is cheaper the jegs, so make everything in 1 order so you pay that $9 fee one time. jegs is like 11. plus summit will pricematch, i love ordering from summit, i bought 24# injectors and after i ordered i found somewheres that had them hceaper like $6 bucks hceaper i called n the guy credit'd my card back $7.

Summit has always done me good to. I ordered a 4 point roll bar and 5 point harnesses and they didn't give me any trouble what so ever. Thanks for the help.

you have to spend so much to get the hat or t-shirt. i think its atleast like $400-500. and you have to request it. lol. i have a black summit racing hat, and a red summit racing t-shirt. plus their customer service is awesome. i ordered a maf sensor, and the adapter was missing, they had to call granatelli but i got hte part the next day. then my alternator was making noise and still under warranty, n i called & the lady asked me if its my daily driver i said yes 'mam. well she said ok heres what were going to do, send you the new alternator and when you take the other one off well have the ups guy pick it up. which was awesome, it came in, i swapped it out, ups guy came back the next day to pick it up, i didnt pay for anything? thats great.
