Header choice - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm trying to decide between the DT Headers and Long Tube headers by BBK.
I'm looking for sound and performance. Which is best?

I plan on paring it with an injen cai, resonator delete and mrt 2 axle back

I have BBK long tubes and I love them they produce alot more low end tq and hp and sound bad a$$. The BBK LT headers also will work great with the Mods that you have.

Mods on v6= K&N Tycoon cai with washer bottle delete, BBK longtube headers with high flow cats, and a muffler delete

Most long tube headers perform similar. Go for best value/quality. We recommend stainless steel headers as mild steel rusts out quickly on headers. The stainless steel BBK long tube is a very nice header.

93,000 miles on my Stainless Works. No problems.

LT's are louder and raspier-not a real word-but to me they just make your car sound more legit. Some prefer the sound of shorty's to LT's but there's no denying the power advantage LT's have over shorty's. 18-22HP VS. 6-8 HP over the stock set up. I love the sound and feel of those exhaust gases flowing frenetically under neath you. I drive my brothers' stock Camaros and they are so lifeless and full of disappoint and fail in comparison. If you don't have an exhaust picked out yet, the ARK DT-S catback plays really well with LT's and it's fitment is top notch.

OBX............GREAT VALUE when shipped to the house for $350. Stainless Steel. Look just like the BBK's

^ BINGOOOOOOOOOO exactly with what im going with! just wondering how do they deal with rust ?

SIXJAK · 12-17-2011, 08:26 PM

OBX is a good deal. If I wouldnt have been able to score a set of slightly used Stainless Works/HFC's for 300.00 then I think I would have gone with OBX's. They just aren't offered with HFC's so if that's an issue for you then you'll have to figure something else out. But as far as LLT mods go, I think OBX is one of THE best bangs for the buck out there.

xpanda305x · 12-17-2011, 08:44 PM

what is the point of HFC?

Do you have a link for these? And do they give the same sound and performance as the BBK's?

xpanda305x · 12-18-2011, 12:57 AM
