Best headers for my budget
#22
I gained 26 rwhp and 19 lb/ft through their y pipe with high flow cats welded in. I do have a mild cam which helps too.

I agree with the BBK guys above. The price is great as well as the fitment, but remember they dont work with EGR & AIR, so you need to delete and plug the EGR in the manifold if you're not running an LS6 manifold.
ALSO: get o2 sensor extensions or run bosch 13111 sensors (off a 2000 corvette, the wire is legit 4-5 feet long)
*ground clearance isnt that big of an issue, atleast wasnt with me (stock springs and decarbons)*

I'm going with the bbk as the power gains are nice for the size, and the possible extra .5in of clearance over the tsp will be a huge difference for me. I can't even stick a sideways can under my lowest point on my stock piping. The stance is just too sick to raise it back up though. Worth the extra $100 for the coated bbks since they will be installed for maybe 5 years? I would still be way below budget with the extra cost for coated. Now if only I could find a reputable localish shop to install for less than $450. Not too afraid to drive. I just got back from a 300mi round trip to Augusta to get my shifter centering. Wouldn't wanna go much farther than that. Could I expect an overall 1in+ gain over stock with bbk headers and ory?
