Hey all,

I have a quick question that I wasn't able to find in the 'MM searches'.

Are there any problems, or would it not be recommended, to use different manufacturer performance parts when upgrading your exhaust.

Example, 'BBK' shorty headers with a 'Pypes' O/R X pipe, or should you stick to the same brand name for both? Just wondering if there may be some fitting issues etc.....

Thanks for your input.

If you have shorty headers then you can get any mid pipe that is made to bolt up to stock manifolds. The only time you run into problems is when you have Long tube headers and a midpipe of different brands. As long as you have stock manifolds or shorty headers then you wont have any problems.
