Yes, however I think you will be better off with MAC's if mid's are what your looking for. I know of one other company that makes mid-length (might be others) headers for our cars. Bassani makes a mid that looks a lot like the MAC's, but the only primary tube size I've seen is 1 5/8", not the standard 1 3/4". Here's a picture of them...

Some of the sponsors cary them so check around if your interested.

Hi

BBK, but they do not make a compatible Y pipe so you will have to custom make it.

Do the Bassanis/BBKs give as much ground clearance or flow as well as the Macs?? (given the same y pipe/system)

Aren' t BBKs shorties?

Either the BBKs or the Bassanis should have similar ground clearance. I believe niether use y-pipes bigger than 2.5".

I think only Mac and Bassani make mid lengths. BBK are shorties. I don't think there is much of a market for mid lengths. Generally states with strict emissions people go with shorties. Looser standards they go long tubes. Not really any good reason to go mid lenght. Get a quality long tube set up and ground clearance is not an issue.
