Default BBK or FRPP shorty headers?

Both are the same price. I have a MAC offroad h-pipe with flowmaster super 40's. Which headers would be better for me FRPP or BBK shorty headers? Is it worth upgrading the stock headers?

shorty headers are pointless. if your going to get it done, get the long tubes or just stay with stock.

I wouldnt say shorties are worthless. Anything is better than stock. Your gains with shorties wont be very much. Ive been hearing anywhere from 3 to 8 HP max. Also BBK and FRPP are pretty equal. Make sure you go with ceramic coated.

I had the same question, it says bbk are equal length and you can see that the primarys are the same length unlike the frpp headers which you can see are not. So in a way would the bbk headers be better.

Either brand will work. I would say go long tube though. And Dont forget the port and polish

I would go with the BBK's. And also, if you do not have over 350hp I wouldnt recommend going w/ the long tubes. You will loose power.
