unequal length shorties are the easiest to install, and BBK is certainly a fine choice among them. I highly recommend the ceramic coating.

Long tubes are certainly more difficult to install than shorties, but are much better performance wise. BBK is a good choice for those, I had a pair of BBK long tubes on my 89 for 10 years, and they went on easier than other long tubes I've done.

I have Accufab custom longtubes. Yes, longtubes are the best performance wise but they're a pain to install

Unless you feel like removing steering linkage and unbolting and slightly lifting the motor among other things, unequal shorty headers are the way to go. Of course equal length is better performance, and long tubes are the best for performance but as you step up it gets progressively harder to install.

Shorty headers take maybe a half a day to install.
Most long tube headers will take all day.
I'd still do the long tube type......
