Are you saying bbk headers are junk? I was gonna go with bbk... What manufacturer makes a good ceramic coated equal length shorty set of headers? Thanks.

Doug's is one. JBA as well, though I'm not so certain for the later model stuff. Kooks too.

until the first time you take the headers off to do something.


also ceramic coated headers look great too so they also have that bling factor.

my headers have been off several times, and they were on someone elses car before. Its only the shorties that you have trouble with. the LT's are quite easy to get back in place.

I just installed a set of BBK long tubes on my car to replace a set of Hooker long tubes.
BBK's fit great, practically fell onto the car.
The Hookers sure didn't.
