Default BBK Header Question

Can those of you who have installed B&B shorty’s tell me if there is a great difference in the interior sound level coming from the engine compartment over stock? Also, anyone experience burnt ignition wires? Thanks gang. – C.

I had them installed 2 months ago. Not much difference in interior sound. They are a little louder especially at WOT. As for the plug wires, I installed a set of Taylor 409 Pro Race Wires. They provide heat protection up to 600 degrees.

I went with the Shorty design because of the Pre-Cats. Without the PUPS, I would have gone with long tubes for sure. I simply didn't want any emissions problems down the road.

The B&B shortys are great headers.
