Default BBK Headers

Just wondering how well BBK headers work on an LS1? Saw on Jegs they have LT and Y at a decent price. Any thoughts?

They were a little late to the game(think they came out about a year ago) but it looks like a nice header...not sure a lot of guys run them.

My buddy had them (before he totalled his car) and they fit pretty well. It looked like a quality piece. If you like them, go for 'em!

They are chrome not coated so I think Im just going to get some from TSP. Any thoughts of doing motor mounts and tranny mounts while Im in there?

Hit up TSP and get there Pacesetter and Y-pipe combo. Or get the TSP 1 7/8's headers with there Y-Pipe. Those are better options IMO. I havn't heard very many good things about the BBK's. Def do the Poly mounts while your in there especially if you decide to do the 1 7/8's as I had to raise the motor a tad to get the headers to fit which required my removing the bolts on the motor mounts. No big deal though. The TSP headers are awesome and come with a great ceramic coating.
