I was looking around at long tubes and have seen some threads about long tubes that didnt fit right or some other problems. I was just wondering if anyone put on a set of long tubes and had 0 problems. Like they fit perfect, dont scrap the ground ext. I was looking at bbk longtubes

As far as fitment the second time around, most people say to go with the BBKs, because they have a one-piece flange.

When it comes to MACs, they are individually bolted on, and some claim that over time the heat warps them into not fitting. On the other hand, some say MAC makes more HP with long tubes because they have a better-designed collector. All up to you, but personally, I'd go with MAC.

they make more power because they are a true equal length header where they wrap around the steering column on the drivers side
