BBK LT headers question.....
BBK LT headers question..... I talked to a local shop , and mentioned that I had a set of BBK LTs , and they advised me to not put them on my 01 WS6
They said that this brand of headers are known to have leaks ( I'm guessing that they are talking about the 02 sensors
What are you guy's opinion on this set of headers ?
And also, I have they ORY BBK that goes with the headers
I am wanting to get the setup installed on my car , but after I talked to a reputable shop around my area, I am a bit hesitant to go through with the install
Thanks everyone

i have them on my 99 , i love them , the fit and finish was awesome on them . Not a leak with mine . I would recommend them to anyone looking for a cheap set . 379 shipped from ws6store.com
Yeah, I am going to have the Cat cut off , and basically just run true Duals.
Another thing is the ground clearance with the Headers.
I'm wanting to lower the car about 1.5" all the way around, using the Eibach Sportlines, so I likely will scrape the bottom, if not carefull
What would be my worst case scenario after I have the BBK LTs and ORY installed.... If it does leak, or the scensors have a problem, is it an easy fix ? Can I have the shop do some welding in certain places, to help with any future problems I may encounter ?
And do you guys have a muffler on your setup? And what would be the positives and negatives of having a muffler vs not having one
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it

With the Eibach Sportline springs you'll have ground clearance issues regardless if you have the factory exhaust manifolds and y-pipe or LT headers. The Eibachs are notorious for lowering more than advertised which compounds the clearance issue even more. So my advise is if you're worried about have possible exhaust leaks from exhaust damage because the car is to low; don't lower it to low! You'll run the possibility of having exhaust leak issues with ANY LT header and Y-pipe setup with running the Eibach Sportline springs. Furthermore I would not consider the Sportline springs a performance modification, only a appearance modification since your suspension compression travel is pretty well limited to how much the bump stops will compress. Speaking from experience there's no need to go that low. The car will ride and handle better and still have that cool lowered look, and you'll still be able to enjoy driving the car. BMR, Strano, Vogtland, and H & R are all a lot better options. Now if you still decide to go with the Sportline springs make sure to at least get the #4.7038 (314-589 lb.in. FRONT, and 51-206 lb.in. REAR, 1.6"/1.4"drop), which has better spring rates and slightly less drop than the #4.3138 (360 lb.in. FRONT, and 80-137 lb.in. REAR, 1.8"/1.8" drop). Anyway, I felt that you need to be aware of the pros and cons (mostly cons) of the Sportline springs(and the 2 different versions) before sinking money into a lowering spring set you may not like.
True duals(budget friendly)and lowering spring are a compromise.

Put them on my 02 and no leaks. There are some good do it yourself write ups out there. I highly doubt the o2's would leak.
Also a lot of people do the poly motor mounts when they do headers. More clearance when they are out. If you want or need to them later the headers would have to come off.

thank you for the help , I really appreciate it
The BBk LTs and ORY that I have, are probably 4-5 years old, have a bit of rust on them, but no holes in the tubing , so I should be ok.
They came off of an 01 - 02 Camaro I believe
And yeah, I heard the same about using the GM gaskets
Thanks again
