BBK or Mac?

[1988WHTGT]

Ok, I think I'm gonna put longtubes on my car. What is everyones preference? Mac or BBK?

 

[aleborjas]

MAC i had both and mac has better desing on tubes better flow and thats why i stayed with mac

be careful of whatever you choose that it has a single flange, not individual. it will make re-installing them easier if you ever remove them off of the heads. some folks have bad luck with it, others have no probs.

i got the BBKs because of the reason mentioned above, my friend has the macs and they are PITA to get lined up and put on after theyve been on a while, i think the BBKs are top notch as far as quality, i have no experience with macs, but they seem to perform very well on my friends car.

Niether,when it comes to headers I would get good quality/crafsmanship and both of those dont have it..JMO

 

[fiveohh94gt]

BBK mainly because of the single piece flange and if money isnt much of a concern opt for the ceramic coating as well

 

[1988WHTGT]

Yea, I always heard BBk was good b/c of the single flange...i have BBK shorties now and haven't had a problem with them....money is kinda tight, if it wan't I'd look at Bassani or sumthin

I talk to a rep at Mac and go figure he says that there product is the best.

BBK here as well. They fit great, quality is excellent, and the ceramic finish has held up very well over the years. A buddy of mine had Mac's, and the HTS coating burned off after a couple months, plus he constantly had problems with his clutch cable melting

BBK...same reasons as above, the single flange. Never, ever, never, ever, ever ,never go with individual flanges, they are sons-of-bitches to get on cause all the tubes flex and move a little after they heat up and cool off all the time. Ive also found individual flanges more prone to exhaust leaks.

I have BBK shorties going to a VRS Catted X... After I smog i want to go Long tubes, can I keep the X? Or do I have to buy a shorter one... I hate Cali.

I guess I am the odd ball here, but I bought MAC headers. I like the single flange, makes getting at plugs easy. I have had them on and off several times and have had no alignment problems. Start the front bolt and the rear and everything else fell in line just the way it should.

MAC shorties here.... They came with the car when I bought it so I can't say how they were to install. Since I have owned the car (little over a year now) I have had one exaust leak. I also discoverd that my H-pipe & Flowmaters are all rusted and venting gases out so I have to change it all.

Mac long tubes here. They are a good 4-5 years old, have some surface rust (their coating is more like silver paint) but line up everytime they come off and on, and I have never had a starter issue (original one) or clutch cable issue!

Oh yeah, and they make good power as with all long tubes ;D!

You get what you pay for is how it works out, and I can say I spent VERY little, and am happy with the product!
