hmmmm, havent looked at my bbk lt's in a while, wonder how they are looking!

Has anyone dyno tested these headers before and after. These seem like a great header for the price. Curious

Honestly they seem to be modeled around the bbk design. I would highly doubt any performance difference between the 2.

I have photos of the OBX, BBK and ARH, they all 3 look very similiar. I would agree the HP differance would be minimum if any at all.

nice write-up, cheap enough to get a new one every 3-5 years, same w/ pace setters?

..can you spray paint 'em w/ high temp paint, or pointless?

I agree. But what about overall power increase with any of them?

I can't imagine there is any power difference, at least not notable IMO.

The biggest question is do you need cats or not, that is really the only difference I could imagine

Oolie you inspired me a while back that these will be the headers I get, especially since we live in fl and cats aren't required. Is there any way to stop them from losing their shine? Also, how's the smell of the car once these are on cause if I add them to my current set up I won't have any cats an I'm just wondering if I'm goin to have that gasoline smell.

you will get a little bit of an unburnt gas smell, but it's not too bad, at least to me...of course I think it smells good...lol

Same. I definitely noticed a smell right off the bat, but I don't mind it either. Only time where it's really overwhelming is in enclosed parking garages or something. Not too bad though.

Sorry, Mother Earth.
