Although most on this forum are against shortys I installed BBK's and there was a night and day difference in performance. Installation was a breeze and total install time was less than 4 hours and can easily be done in the garage with some ramps.

I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to do a mild build and has no plans for doing a heads and cam swap in the future. Just my .02 cents for what it's worth. Good luck with what you decide. There are plenty of choices.

I have Corsa Xtreme and American Racing long tubes....I removed the cats and air pump and wished I didnt! Soooooo loud... I do have a fairly aggressive cam so dont know if that made it louder in the big scheme? I put in a custom resonator thats made it still loud, but not obnoxiously so.
