    BBK Longtubes: ceramic vs. chrome

    not meant as a hijack but I never had much luck with my ceramic headers from BBK. I don't know if I got a hold of a few that were a bad run or what but my coating flaked off after about 2 weeks of driving. sent them back and the 2nd set did the same thing. :shrug:

    yep, another 3G question...

    thanks for the reply. I actually have an aftermarket cd head unit with a 1000W Kenwood amp pushing 2 12" subs. I can crank it up pretty loud to the fact of the entire car turning into one giant rattle and my alt. only drops a tiny bit at idle. the real draw to the charging system is when I am...

    yep, another 3G question...

    ok, I took a few pics of the alt. it isn't the cleanest piece but according to guy it has never been installed on anything. it even has a plastic cap where the pulley goes as you can see in the pics. I haven't installed the regulator yet because I don't want to even bother if I won't be able to...

    #@&!*$% Insurance Companies!!!!

    speaking of full coverage, what kind of deductibles do you guys carry? I keep 250.00 on everything. if we wanted no comp/collision on our car it was still just over 450.00/6 months. I looked at it like this: 450.00 for no coverage, 760.00 for complete coverage. might as well pay the extra.

    best affordable heads for my setup?

    thanks for the reply. I don't have emmisions testing here but who knows if that could change so I'm thinking I may(?) try to stay safe on that. I'll most likely got some rockers down the road at some point. I also may get a supercharger down the road but that most liely won't be for around...

    yes, I know, another one of these threads. sorry in advance. now to the question - I'm thinking I may just use my credit card to get a set of heads. this way I can do the install of the heads/intake all in one shot. I don't want to spend a fortune however. I would also prefer iron heads. I did...
