Been on the tour of the facility and run them along with the exhaust on my car. IMHO they are as good as it gets, looks, sound, and perfromance they got it all. Headers are a very subjective thing for our cars but as I said they are top notch in my book.

Be aware that B-B primarily sells Shorty Headers. They make a long tube header, but the installation requires extensive work. Unless you are in a place like California with strict emissions, go with the long tube headers. I advise LG or Kooks.
