I have the BBK equals and have been pleased with how they've held up. As for horsepower, I did not notice much. Although the throttle response felt better(less lag). The loudness of the exhaust did not change. However, it added more of a crisp tone.

After putting non equal headers and full non cat 2.5 exhaust it actually felt like I lost torque.Stock engine.
