Default B&B Shorties

I am considering these to go along with the GHL's being installed next week. I'd appreciate comments from anyone who has the shorties.

I had them. Swapping them off for Stainless Works in a week or two. I have modded a GN, C5 and super charged 3.8s, off all the mods I have ever done this is the one that was the biggest pain. Go long tubes.

The only thing that I liked is that htey are a direct bolt on and can be put on with out cutting or welding and can be taken off when time comes to sell the car, they are also stainless. The problem I had was constant wire burns. I was told by B&B that Jet Hot coating would void my warrenty, so I did not do it. I had countless wire burns. The only way I would use these is by coating them (JH or Swain tec ect). When I post these for sale I plan on making the need for a coating known.

I just received my B&B's and the workmanship is top notch.

If I wasn't in CA I'd get the FLP's as well. Its a nice price for a complete system.

I'm very happy with my shorties from B&B. They are coated and have hi-temp wire boots around the GM performance wires. I went this route because quality is foremost and wanted no emission issues. :seeya
