Default LT header battle: BBK vs. MAC

I'm just curious to see what people think of MAC 1 5/8" long tubes vs. BBK 1 5/8" long tubes. They are both about the same price.But I would just like to know:

Which one benefits the other?

Which one has the better overall design?

Which one has better mandrel bends?

If you were choosing, which one would you buy and why?

Any other input would be greatly appreciated about these headers and which one to go with. Thanks.

Well if you never plan on taking the headers off again you can try mac, but once you take them off the tubes warp and getting each flage bolted back on will be a biatch.

In other words, BBK is the way to go.
