This may go for all long tube headers for the v6 camaro but the one thing you need to watch out for is to make sure no wires are touching the headers. I did not know this but my altenator wiring was touching to the headers but i was lucky enough to catch it in time before anything serious happened. other than that, BBK headers were a breeze to install and would recommend them to anyone.

This happened to me and cooked the very wire you are referring to. Please double check those wires people!

Im actually saving up for some long tube BBK headers. Im guessing you installed them yourself judging by your comment. Did you need alot of tools? and how long would you say it took to install?
