BBKs work perfect. They're heavy, thick flanges, and fit well. I use them and don't have any problems.

BBK's are good and dual cat 96-97 SLP headers are good.

Look through my threads. Found some cheap stainless headers for a 88~95 chevy truck and used them.

I thought they were great.looking back though the plugs were a bit tricky.

I would post a link but I'm on my phone and it is a pain to do it from it. GL
