Best Types Of Headers?

boblongtv · January 10th, 2008, 02:21 PM

I am looking for headers and dont no what to get. Whats the difference performancewise between long tube and shorties? Whats the best brand?

longtubes will give you more velocity down the runners which makes them superior to shorties. MAC and BBK are the only company i know of that make LTs for the V6. From what ive heard/read, shorties will not benefit you much.

BBK only makes shortys for our cars

really? BBK used to make headers for em...did they stop?

Onemanzu · January 10th, 2008, 03:34 PM

I still have yet to see BBKs for our car that are in current production

Go with mac all the way

shadow5403 · January 10th, 2008, 03:40 PM

I almost swear they used to make them. I think i remember debating whether to go with BBK or MAC when i first bought my headers. hmmm

Onemanzu · January 10th, 2008, 03:51 PM

once upont a time but not anymore

shadow5403 · January 10th, 2008, 03:55 PM

ive always heard recommendations for MAC over BBK anyways......BBKs have leak issues at the collector from what ive read about em.

ESG-642T · January 10th, 2008, 03:59 PM

I don't think bbk EVER made long tubes for our cars.

GreenFaleen · January 10th, 2008, 06:55 PM

they made them for about 6 months when the 99's first hit the market but they didn't sale since mac had such a better product, but LT's are the way to go

long tubes FTW. Be sure to check out ur emissions laws before you buy them. Some states do not allow them (like California.....assholes

lame... )

itschristorres8 · January 10th, 2008, 07:02 PM

MWWarlord · January 11th, 2008, 01:06 AM

Yeah LTs are illegal in VA, I'm not sure about MD. If you can LTs are much better than shorties.

street591 · January 24th, 2008, 05:39 PM

LTs are the only upgrade to get really the only benefit from shorties is if you got ceramic go with MAC lt's its the only company now not jba
