I have MAC LT on my Bullitt and I've installed BBK LT on a friends Cobra. The BBKs fit perfectly, but have a crimp in one of the primaries. I don't know if it affects power. The MACs also fit perfectly, but I had to clearance to starter to get it in behind the headers. FWIW, MAC's customer service is great. Also be prepared to wait about a month for them because both the MAC and BBKs were placed on backorder and it sounds like it is common.

BBKs on mine, Fit nicely. DO have the crimp, I dont think it has any affect on the power though!

to my knowledge, there is no back order on the MAC headers as of right now.
lucky you. i put a set on papsmurfs car, and nothing but trouble. fitment was worse than almost anything else i have ever touched.

as for header recommendation, its how much $$$ you want to spend. is there a difference; yes. is it a big difference; not really. if you are wanting the best, look at american racing, kooks, or slp. best for the $, look into mac, headman torque step, or maybe even bbk.
how was the fitment so bad on yours?

a header tube was against the starter, collector against the floor, and steering u-joint against a header tube. the first 2 things arent too big of a deal. the steering shaft was rubbing the header tube really really bad.
oh and the oil dip stick tube was about impossible to get in.

im looking into headers also what crimp are you talking about? Did you have to make that crimp or just the way they were designed?

well if your budget is unlimited, get some kooks, or american racing, but there are cheaper options such as mac and flowtech that i've heard fit fine. finish isn't anywhere near as good but it'd do.
