OK GUYS HERE IS MY ORDEAL.

What's better BBK HEADERS OR JBA HEADERS?

ALSO,

BBK OFF-ROAD XPIPE OR BASSINI OFF-ROAD XPIPE?

BEST COMBINATION...?

I HAVE TURN DOWNS WITH FLOWMASTERS.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS?

AND HOW DO THEY SOUND?

BBK

JBA HEADERS WITH A BASSANI.. THEY ARE BOTH TYPE OF THE LINE ITEMS. JBA HEADERS ARE EXPENSIVE AND SO IS THE BASSANI OVER THE BBK X PIPE.

All the parts mentioned above would sound identical on a sbf fox...zero difference when your running the same mufflers,shorties are shorties and an x pipe is an x pipe...get longtubes stick with an x pipe and run over the axle tail pipes,now that's an exhaust!!!

Jba shorties & the Bassini. Both companies do top of the line stuff. If you do use bbk headers, make sure to get the 1 flange headers.

Bassani mid pipes hang super low so be careful

For the price and quality of BBK you can't go wrong, I've been running the same equal length chrome shorty headers for about 6 years now and have to remove them to swap out heads and engines for repairs etc. and have had no issues bolting them back on. Same goes for their mid-pipes [patriot]

Another vote for JBA headers!

Thank you guys for all of the input!!

I decided to go with JBA and Bassani and wouldn't you know it I ended up picking up a pair of JBA Shorty headers for 40 bucks and a bassini off-road xpipe for 50 bucks

I've got my xpipe on and it sounds beast. I haven't put my headers on yet because they need studs put on and a carb sticker.

Thanks again guys!!!!
