the company plays a big part, we orderd 2 bbk throttle bodies and both of them were pooly machined and i had to go back and smoothin out all the rough edges they left. it may not seem like much but its the little things like that in the end that play a big part

damn straight i had to do that to my headers too. it wasnt a hard fix but i guess i just expected better quality from them. Yeah thats true it does sound alot meaner with out all those cats. But just running a straight pipe idk about that

Yea, as stated earlier, the 75mm is gonna be way too large, 65mm would suit you just fine, and a 70mm would be good down the road.

60mm - stock
65mm - good for stock to lightly moded cars
70mm - good for mildly moded cars with h/c/i work, or a stock car with some type of F/I
75mm - good for highly moded cars running with strokers and or aggressive cam setups, or some type of F/I

i'd do the 65mm throttle body(or 70 depending on what u plan on adding to the motor) and dude don't even bother getting the bbk h pipe.... just get the summit one, it's cheaper and it's pretty much the same thing... all it is is metal tubing so it doesn't really matter

idk the quality of the tubing has to do alot withit too, and so do the bends, having the right exhaust makes a huge difference.
