Default summit bbk long tube headers

In the process of collecting parts for project this winter. Trying to keep the budget low, and found on summit a pair of bbk long tube headers, 18 gauge 3 in collectors. I think the price is 129.95, what do you guys think. Has anyone used these, are they any good? Trust me id love to by a more expense pair but money just isnt there.

Thanks

I don't see what cost has to do with quality of headers. What is the inlet tube size?

I'm using BBK longtubes and they are a pain in the *** to install. I had to remove motor mounts, loosen tranny mount, and hoist the engine up. You also will need a different mid-pipe, obviously. Look into shorties.

With headers you get what you pay for. Cheap headers will rust out and leak besides not fitting right.

And don't bother with shorties...Mustangs basically come with shorties...they wont help with HP and not with sound either. It's long tubes or bust. Get a nice pair of ceramics. Check into MAC.
