Default BBK CNC Series Headers

Does anyone have these? What do you think? Quality? Performance increase? I se them in Eckler's for only $499... vs. $1099 for the B&B Tr-Flows. What's the difference... besides price?

:cheers:

I really do not think there are any huge gains to be found in shorty headers on the LS1. The C5 has good enough flowing stock exhaust manifolds that the gains are only really found once you switch to a Long Tube header, but of course, these cost quite a bit more and the install is more in depth and requires some welding.

I am right there with Matt. No benefit from shorties. Go for the LT's or nothing. :yesnod:
