this might be a stupid question but i have to ask... i just finished looking at the new BBK catolog, i am looking to buy headers for my car. i was looking at some bbk longtube headers the thing is they all say "will not work on automatics" or "5 speed only" is this the same with other brands? are there long tube headers that will work on an automatic?

I belive the Cooks and Sean Hyland custom long tubes should work with an auto trans and possibly the Hooker long tube headers as well, but I'm not 100% sure. You might want to do a search on the corral.net message boards and see what type of header people are running with an auto.

MAC makes longtubes for 5 speed or auto, last time i checked so did bbk? look in the summit catalog, bassani makes longtubes for auto also, just about any company would make headers for an auto, i've never heard of a company that didn't.
