Default B&B Headers arrived!!! (w/ pics)

Well these came in today and I cant wait to get them on!!! I've seen pics in other threads but now I can say first hand the quality/craftsmanship seems outstanding. And geeze, look at the merge spike!(Tried to get a good pic of it) For guys wanting to run catless...here's a very affordable way to do it. No need to replace the factory h-pipe with these (as you all know). Yeah I'm a little concerned with how loud it will be...but oh well, we'll see. I'm at 330hp/338tq stock; I'll have these on Thursday and a tune saturday...so I'll post up my graphs once all is done. Anyway here's some pics...

Well as of right now no... I already have the Flowmaster Axle-back system...If it's too loud then I might think about putting the stock system back on.

Nope, no cats. We don't have to pass emissions tests here in OK (or any inspection for that matter) so I'm going to try it without. If it's too loud or I just dont like the sound or smell, then I'll either buy the B&B catted x-pipe or just buy some highflow cats and have them welded in.

Looks really good.

This might be in the future for the BlueCoupe, and would be an excellent addition to the B&B Route 66s. I'd have to run the high flow cats here in Pa though.

This might be too loud also. I'll look forward to your ongoing reports.

I think there's a few guys that have put them on...but I haven't seen anyone use the stock h-pipe. As far as price...I got them on sale from one of the supporting vendors for $860 shipped (hope it's okay that I said that). Again, I cant say enough about the quality...they're going on today so I'll have more on the fit and ease of install tonight.

You would have to buy a B&B catted x-pipe...Or buy some highflow cats and have them welded into the stock h-pipe. But as I'm sure you know, cats aren't cheap.

Yup... The headers bolt directly to the stock h-pipe.
