Long Tube Headers?

blackstang · 12-08-2009, 10:15 PM

I am looking at getting Long tube headers for my car. I know the popular answer is Kooks (a little rich for my blood) I am looking at BBK LTs with Catted X, or Pypes LTs with catted X. The main reason is both can be had for around $850 or less. I would like to stay below $1000 for the headers and mid with cats. Are there better options out there that meet that criteria? If not of the two BBK or Pypes which would you reccomend?

Pypes and BBK are both shitty companies.

BBK would rather crush pipes to fit than design them to work properly. I've seen several of their products that come brand new with unfinished welds, incorrect flanges, missing hardware etc.

Pypes is just as bad. Personally I think they sound horrible, and it's next to impossible to install anything without it leaking.

I'd look into companies like bassani, mac, and flowtech for headers and midpipes. You have a beautiful car, no sense in making it sound like ass

Yea, I'm not a fan of pypes exhaust either, my pypes x-pipe has a shitty clamp on fit that joins it together, and it has always leaked. Once I get around to it, it needs to be welded together.
