321 stainless, 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8, same tube routing as the Kooks with more plug access, for less than what I paid for a set of Jet Hots (Hookers).

Yea, but those havent been delivered yet (I noticed there is yet *another*
delay in delivery). And I wouldnt order a set until AFTER folks report
back about quality, fitment, etc.

I'm waiting on feedback as well (that and money). Apparently the merge spikes were subcontracted out, and that's causing the delay. Either way, just saying it has good potential to be one of the better options for LT1.

Agreed. They make everything else look like a scam. If you're dropping 400+ for a set of painted pacestinkers with ORY when (assuming) these are out there, you need a head check. Yeah, you have to pull apart the steering knuckle, but I'll take that small inconvenience for the better plug access.

But I would get them fast, because I'm wonder if overhead was calculated into the ridiculous(ly low) pricing. Let's hope. But I guess the LS1 headers they did too, and kept the price there, so ... .. maybe ..

What did you guys think of the BBK SHorties? I have the odd ones I gues you would call them and I have been thinking of going to pacesetter long tubes and building the rest of the exhaust myself (No cats).

But I am not finding a lot of info spec to these BBK ones.

I use to run Pacesetters but in my honest opinion I thought they were the biggest pile of garbage I've ever seen. Bends were crap, pin holes in areas Sure they are dirt nothing in price...but no thanks

I thought I did, I just don't think the gains w/mids are anywhere near what longtubes do for LTx's.
Want some????

Not talking about the shorties. Edelbrock makes a 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 just like there LS1 headers for LT1's.

I see them on their website. This is the first I've heard of them, could you elaborate on any experiences you've had or heard of with these? Cost? Install/fit? Wonder how long they've been out...
