Default BBK header question.

Does anyone use BBK Headers on their LS1? Are they any good? The price is right and includes the Y-pipe. I've used BBK stuff on Mustangs and always found them to be quality products. But I haven't read anything about these.

Also wondering! Price seems pretty good and I love the Y pipe merge on them!! Any problems with the Y pipe being 2.5 inches??

98Z...I believe these are the headers you are referencing? Also the ones I am wondering about.

Also, they seem like just offroad headers, no EGR or AIR hookups?

Yeah those are it. I've eliminated a.i.r. and egr so that's fine with me.

How much of a pain in the *** is it to install headers on an F-Body that has AIR or EGR or whatever all that crap is? Can it be done without a car lift?
