Just did the BBK Longtubes last sunday. 7 1/2 hours to get it all done start to finish. Getting the old stuff off was a PITA and the dipstick tube fought me but otherwise it was pretty straight forward and I spent 355.00 on the headers (shipped), 30.00 to have my factory i-pipe welded to the new y-pipe (no lift and was having trouble getting it to push together) and 120.00 on rear C5Z oxygen sensors (which were more than long enough).

Both sides dropped in from the top (remove coil packs on both sides and valve cover on passenger side - You might need to lift the engine a little on the passenger side.. a couple inches was enough).

Fitment and Quality were great IMHO... car sounds good and I don't have any leaks to speak of. Honestly I'm extremely happy with BBK at the moment.

That's great to hear. I've not heard anything negative about this setup yet and look forward to getting mine started! Thanks for the heads up.

Certainly nothing to complain about there, I'm patiently waiting for NWTMP to open for test & tune, its only 1/8 mi. but I'd really like to have a baseline before I get too far into these upgrades!

There's a reason why the Stage 3 Revmax converters are so cheap.

They are small converters not made for the 4L60E with an adapter ring welded to it. Pass.

If you're gonna get a converter, do it right. The Stage 5 billet Revmax is better, but much more expensive.

Still a min or two away from stall yet, but I sure don't wanna do it twice! As I like to save money as much as the next guy, quality is a must!!!
