Default BBK Long tubes?

Has anyone tried their new long tube headers? I know they make a nice product as far as intake parts and mainly catering to the mustang crowd. Any info would help. Also the offer 2 coatings, one is ceramic and the other is chrome. Which would be better?

Does that price on their site include the y-pipe or just the headers? Thanks. They look great by the way!

They remind me a lot of my FLP's. Also short collectors.

Can't forget the short collectors on the older design SLP Longtubes, compared to the Hookers i helped my friend install my SLPs have no collector at all.

The photo with the can doesn't make the ground clearance look to bad, if you look behind the can and take notice of the other header coming down. But then again in person it might be a totally different thing.

It comes more than halfway down the can. The headers do look nice tho I'm not a fan of ball flanges.

Ah im retarded i didn't completely realize that the car was still on that lift thing. For some reason i thought the can was on it and the cae was on the ground. And i agree with you, i'll take a slip on collector anyday.

The price includes the headers and Y-pipe...

as far as the ground clearance goes... to be honest guys the angle of the pic really makes it look A LOT worse than it really is... My car is lowered 2" and I can still pretty easily make it over speed bumps... not to mention, BBK's main focus was ground clearance when designing these. That's one of the reasons for the 2.5" y-pipe into a 3" I-pipe... for additional ground clearance...

I like the ball flanges... no need for gaskets and no leaks that way...

lemme know if you guys have anymore questions...

I have them on my car too. They went in very easy. I have awesome ground clearance and my car is lowered.
