Texas Speed, or BBK? Opinions, please..
So, the car is a daily driver, and probably will be for a bit longer..
Not sure if I want to go with Texas speed 1 7/8" long tubes w/ ORY, or the BBK 1 3/4" long tubes and ORY.
Since the car is a lowered daily driver I mainly just DONT want to scrape (or, scrape as little as possible.) I've heard the BBK's tuck up nicely, plus they're cheaper. At the same time, I dont mine spending the extra 200 or so on the Texas speed long tubes, but, I'm not looking for big power out of the car so 1 7/8" headers arent quite a necessity for me.
Just looking for opinions on both, and curious how the Texas Speed LT's and Y tuck up.. thanks guys
Oh, and I'll probably be installing these myself, at home.. So im also considering the installation factor since I don't have a lift..although I may be able to get access to one

I think the only banging issues on the pacesetters were with their Y pipe design. But if you go with TSPs new ORY w/ the pacesetters, you'll be in good shape, they were easy to install too. Go with the ceramic coated if you look into them.

I bought my pacesetters from texas speed with the texas speed ory, have never had any problems with the headers. No "banging" plus the price is hard to beat. The guys at texas speed are great to deal with, I'll be ordering my heads/cam from them this winter. Awesome proven performance from those guys hands down.

I would prolly get the BBK's. Ever single person i've read about having them is satisfied. Might get a little more ground clearance from the 2.5" Y vs the 3". Some guy did some dyno testing and found that the .5" is not a factor on horsepower.
