Default B&B Header Opinions

Anyone have experience with B&B headers.. they have a similiar looking long tube design to the LG Pros.. I would love to have headers that matched the overal quality of the B&B bullets

I haven't heard anything except a few rumors of fitment/installation issues on the B&B headers. Nothing substantiated however.

The LG Pros quality is TOP SHELF. Even a custom header builder I brought them to (for coating) commented on the great quality of the welds and design.

Nope. Almost all long tubes moves the cats to that location. I don't believe any of the current products will bolt up to the PRT with the exception of the Callaway shorties.

I haven't seen the B&B's in person, but the photos show a very short and twisted collector. It's just my opinion that the collector is probably not very efficient as compared to Kooks or LG's Merge collectors.

The B&B headers will bolt up to your cat back system, if you don't install cats.
