Bang for the buck, BBK is good. You get what you pay for. Kooks is areally good brand, too,and they won't break the bank.

I personally really can't see THAT much difference in quality versus price with a brand like SLP. I do get the better quality angle, but not for that much incrementally - i.e., I don't think the SLP's are almost twice as good in the quality department as the price would indicate. Some may say that, and I can understand why - a little dab'll do ya in the mal-fitting LT header department on a 4v! I think I'd rather stick a hot fire poker in my eye!! [:@]
I also know first hand the importance of qualitygood fitting LT's - SpecterGT260 and I put LT's on his 98 LS1 Bird and they practically fell on, and he didn't skimp on the purchase.

I think with a good set of gaskets and a lot of patience, the BBK's represent a good value. Unless you had a VERY good muffler shop in your general vicinity, I would buy either a matching mid-pipein a package deal or I would get a Prochamber for LT's - I've heard that the fitment on those is good.

There is a shop in Dallas that sells LT's and a mid-pipe for $550. Not sure of the brand, tho...

Excellent. Get that tune and you'll be in business. How much difference is felt with what you've had done so far? Do you go to the track?
