They're stainless steel and have a lifetime warranty. They also have a flat flange (no "sealing ring" around the port), which allows the use of Bassani gaskets, which are stainless steel with graphite inserts--never had one blow out yet! Additionally, we sell our own header bolts with SurLok washers to prevent loosening or backing out.<br /> <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ January 15, 2004, 12:51 PM: Message edited by: Bill/APEX Motorsports ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>94gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 3060</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,0,15,12,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by The Nick:<br /><strong> Don't get BBKs.

They will make the most power. For Long tubes I think Bassani is the best period. If you go with shorties also get a Bassani X pipe. As far as intakes go, the Anderson NA power pipe is most likely the best because it puts the Mass air meter into the fender. If you choose to go conventional the densecharger is a great way to go for the second most power, BBK is nice but I don't like their label all over the product, Mac's pipe is nice and clean with no brand names on it. Although if you don't go with the anderson pipe I think the best thing to do is to get the C&L truflo inlet pipe keep the stock air box, take out the air silencer and throw in a K&N.<br />I think this is about all the info you need <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
