Default BBK Headers VS. TPIS Headers

Looking at both sets.

The TPIS are going to run about 800 and the BBKs will run about 570.

Tell me which is the best bang for the buck.

The TPIS are long tubes and BBK were shorties I thought. Go with the LTs.

I posted on your topic in C5 parts for sale. Who wants a TPIS GP? Tbyrne is offering free shipping at the moment.

Im pretty sure the masses will agree with me when I say don't waist your time or money on the shorties. The LT's are the way to go. As far as what brand to buy, thats opening up a big can of worms around here.
