Planning on buying some equal or shorty headers, which would produce more hp with some xpipes and some flows? everything else is pretty much stock.
Also, was looking at FlowTech Headers, which are cheaper then the BBKs, are they still good? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

You can get equal or unequal length shorty headers, but you can only have an X-pipe no X-pipe"s". as for things being cheaper, you pay for what you get.
i beleive you will see better gains with equal length headers, and if you go x-pipe, go with some non-chambered mufflers like a magnaflow for example.(straight through muffler)

I'd rather run a set of flow tech's then BBK's, but that's just me. The difference in price most likly just reflects the fact that bbk shorty's are 50 state leagal as opposed.
equal lenght might be worth 5ish HP over unequal on some combo.

k, i plan on getting the off road xpipe, which is already non-legal..so the headers not being legal won't matter..when it comes time to smog i'll have to swap. So magnaflow has no chmabers, k...i was told to go with flowmaster 1 chamber..i'll look @ the mag....
thanks for input.
