You cant buy them separately from BBK.
BBK's are the best $ bargain besides the ebay cheapos which are a good deal too.


PS- auto any thing dot com has a "loyalty" coupon code 15% off where you get bbk 19640 ceramic coated headers & y pipe w/a free bbk cap for $425 shipped, killer deal for headers and y pipe coated, IMHO.

I wish I could've splurged for the ceramic coating. I had a leak around my exhaust manifolds that I am guessing was throwing my o2 sensor reading all to hell. I used that as an excuse to buy them, but I don't really regret getting the chrome. I feel like it will hold up and prolly look better longer than the painted pacesetters. I can't tell that they put out any more heat than regular manifolds

how much are these BBKs everyone is talking about?

I would go with coated Pacesetter headers... they go for about $380 new.

Get the tsp stainless and dont look back. Anything other than stainless is a wate of time, effort, and money... been there done that!

Well, if I was going to go duals and didn't need the BBK Y pipe I would probably just get the coated pacesetters.

I got my chrome BBK w/ Y-pipe for $354 shipped

Im leaning towards pacesetters in that the y pipe looks nicer than a tsp and uses less clamps

Pacesetter or TSP would be my vote. People on here lately have been complaining about Hooker quality.... (Giggity? lol)

I originally was waiting for the TSP longtubes as well. ~$540 (after shipping) for the headers that are stainless is a great deal. I've since changed plans and am opting for an ARH system which is much more expensive but they are recognized for having a great reputation across the board. I'm not knocking TSP, I'll do business with them in the future when I get a cam but I think ARH is just a better fit for me.

Bottom line - on a tight/cheap budget. Go TSP.

Sure there are.

This one is poly MM's, pacesetter LT's and TSP Y-pipe.
I am sure if you googled "pacesetter long tube install pics" there are more, but this is one I had saved from a while back.

If you get the pacesetters, don't get the painted ones. It takes about as long for the paint to burn off as it does to break in a cam...any guesses how i know that?

^ Ya there not 1 7/8th's, thats about it. I'd definitely get coated Pacesetter's with TSP's Y if your just wanting something cheap.

The TSP 1 7/8" stainless is a great option. We're also working on a 1 3/4" stainless that should be ready before to long!!

I just pulled the trigger on Pacesetter coated and Pacesetter 3" ORY. $510 w/ free shipping! I believe is a good deal!

Where did you get them from? Why does everyone want the TSP y, I looks like it would fit worse than the pacesetter y because of all the useless exhaust clamps......
