Comparisons were done with between BFE, ARH & Kooks and BFE was behind ARH by a couple of hp and ahead of Kooks by 7 or 8.

Basically you will see the same gains with these as any other headers... Fastlane or ARD sells these or you can just go to the BFE website.

They donated a set to the H-Town Camaro Club, so if anyone wants a raffle ticket for 10 bucks shoot me a PM. Drawing will be at the Corvette Chevy Expo in Houston and you do not need to be present to win.

Would love to give them away to someone on here...

I stand corrected. But, there was no mention of "Tuned" in their comparison "you tube" videos. They said "Stock" 2011 camaro then "just" added headers.

I hope that was a "slip" and not deceptive advertising. I intend to ask them when I call. To see if it was tuned or not.

Something i don't think has been brought up yet in this thread is warranties.

Big flow and Kooks both offer a lifetime warranty. ARH doesn't seem to; I've scoured their website and it doesn't advertise one.

This is big for some folks. Which is why I'll be installing a set of POLISHED BF headers next month.....

They're the cheapest, they offer a lifetime warranty, they're polished, and they're made by hand right here in Texas.

I can answer that... it was tuned and I guess sort of implied when you add headers. I told them the next one across the dyno they need to replace this one. Our Raffle ones will for sure be another test.

Yippee!!

I Just ordered my BFE headers. They are in stock and should be here in 3 days.

I'll let you know how they are as soon as spring rolls around and the car comes out of the garage.

Oh, and yes, the results were with a tune. I'll be using stock mufflers for now until I can find some that have a deep (non-harsh) sound. Any suggestions anyone? tia

P.S. Thanks for everyones help.
