Do a search on BBK header I think you find a few pictures then.

I hear they are fairly simple and dont require a whole lot to get them in unlike some other brands.

Got any vids? I have a set of these on order, and I know the LM1 is probably going to have to go. Was thinking about a setup like yours with a Spintech Pro Street 3" muffler.

J-Train, here's the best I have.
IMO, if you use a good set of headphones the audio/video clip sounds a lot like it does in person.

I recently bought and installed some coated BBK headers and Ypipe... the fitment was pretty good, I had to enlarge one of the header holes slightly, but that was the only problem I ran into. The clearance is very good, tucks up nice and close to the body, I am at stock ride height though. And I do not have a problem with any ypipe banging under hard acceleration. I have this system connected to a magnaflow CB and a electric cutout in the Ipipe.

I had shorty headers before w/catted Y-pipe, I have better ground clearance now with the BBK LT's & ORY-pipe.

Shorties have little to no gain over the stock manifolds. Their not worth the money.
