BBK's headers are better quality and, more importantly, have a the flange that connects all the primaries. I like the MAC Prochamber, but other than that the H and X pipes are all pretty similar unless you go stainless.

I got BBK equals, BBK Catted X pipe and magnaflows. The Primary reason I baught a X pipe was for the extra few hp. I will be straight up by saying at first I felt this set up was to quiet but after awhile it grew on me and I don't regret it. It sounds Raspy and mean.

ya i have shortys bolted to a catted h pipe and dual 40 series flows and im dropping that quiet system for the o/r x pipe to get better ponies, flow, and a more aggressive sound. the setup i have right now is perfect in low rpms but silences to the point my motor is louder which isnt right for a fox body

BBK headers have good quality and so do my MAC unequal lengths.I haven't had a problem with them on either of the cars that they have been installed on. I wish I could find the shorty header dyno shoot out, MAC came out on top for making power, that's what convinced me to purchase mine.
