Default Header Question

I was thinking about getting some bbk shorty headers but im not sure if they will add any power over the stock shorties. I can't get longtubes because i have an AOD. So is it worth it, or should i spend my money on something else?

ya I got some mac equal length headers and I like them... whether or not you can "FEEL" the upgrade power difference... I didn't???

Whether or not you want to spend money else where depends on what you want to do with your car? I knew I had a never ending list of upgrades so I bought the whole exhaust components first... gives you a MEAN sounding car with no bite If you want to eventually redo the whole exhaust system you might as well just get them sooner than later! definitely swap out mid-pipes (x-pipe, h-pipe, etc.) Also, if you're wanting to help the exhaust have breathing room, make sure you also help her breath in Cold air intake, bigger throttle body (not TOO big though), etc.

They'll add power over the stock ones. Do the MAC shorties,MAC PRO Chamber & Mac flowpath mufflers out back,you'll love that set up trust me.
