bbk header finish bad
not very happy with the quality of my BBK chrome headers. they seem to be scratched, scraped, and the exhaust port cuts are very sloppy.
i assume they are all like this for $159 i didnt really expect top notch quality but still... this is my first bbk purchase and probably my last.

What are the specs? Shorty Unequals Non Ceramic right? Basically the cheapest they had? I spent $350 on my Equal Length Ceramic BBK Shoritesand they are perfect [&:]. I guess you get what you pay for? Send them back and ask for another pair, summit is real good about returns, good luck.

i got chrome shorties 2.5" flange
i mean its only bad if u look closely. i can tell they were scratched against something because u can see the scuff marks and lines. i dont really care, not worth it to have them re-shipped and everything. they WILL be turning colors too so im sure it will hide the imperfections.
just cant believe BBK would ship something like that. i opend the box and went wtf... wasnt too happy but oh well. i didnt buy them for the looks i guess

If you send them back, the new headers will look exactly the same. Those scratches are where they were machine bent. I've ordered many parts from BBK and have had no trouble. You got exactly what you payed for. Pay 260 for the ceramic and they will be perfect.
