Default heade/y pipe bbk performance good or bad

Looking for good header kit. Do not want to buy headers that will not give me good performance.

I've heard a lot of back and forth with BBK/Pacesetters. I'm getting a LT header/ORY kit from BBK from WS6Store, a sponsor on here. From what i've heard they're the best bang for your buck but we'll see. I'll post up some pics of the install for you if you like.

I have never owned a set of pacesetters but after my BBK LT/ORY install I could really feel a difference. But of course this was going from stock mani's to LT's. Also the BBKs were really easy to install without the need for any car lift. Just a good set of jack stands.

SN: Never heard anything bad about the pacesetters, just chose BBK because they are budget friendly.

pics of the BBKs after the install would be great. Any header pics of lt and ory after install would be great. I like the flanged collector on the BBK headers.

I installed the bbk kit earlier this year and was very happy with fitment. Price was great and quality was excellent. I could definitely feel a difference as well over stock manifolds/exhaust. I chose a Magnaflow catback and the bbk y mated up perfectly.

I think the 2.5" y-pipe and 1 3/4" primaries will hold them back a little. I'm not saying they won't give you good performance, but they will leave some power on the table compared to a 3" y-pipe and 1 7/8" or stepped primaries or duals for that matter. The price on them is very good though.

I would recommend checking out our TSP stainless 1 7/8s headers and our stainless off road ypipe. Performs great, fits great, and the price is hard to beat for a full stainless setup.
