best shorty headers??

[stprorolla49]

any suggestions on the best shorty headers? im lookin at bbk chrome shorties.....also any suggestions on the best o/r h pipe....thx

Best shorties... my vote is the FRPP ones. They have a nice thick one piece flange to keep the primaries straight and prevent them from warping.

I agree on the FRPP, stainless steel a +, they are good. BBK's are good. Spend the extra $$$ if you can & get ceramic coating.

 

[HoofnIt]

My vote is for the FRPP ceramic coated. Bassani makes a high quality x pipe.

 

[Maverick95]

My vote is for BBK unequal-length shorties, ceramic coated of course, and the MAC 2.5 inch H-pipe w/ high flow cats. Just my .02

thanks guys.....unfortunately theres no way i can get the ceramic coating.....high school junior=VERY low income....lol....anyway....what makes the FRPP so much better than any other shorty header, and what makes one heder better than the next....i am talkin about all 1-5/8 in primaries and 2.5 in collectors btw.....

Dont waste your money on crome, it holds in an assload of heat.

do these look like the FMS headers to you guys? They are obviously used and need collector studs, but I can get the pair for around $60 bucks if he still has them.

I think the FMS ones are ceramic too and I think they cost more than the BBK ceramic. someone tell me if Im wrong.

I've had BBKs on my two cars and like them.

They look like it to me. Mine have a "ford motorsport" plaque on the passenger side header. Might want to look for that.

would those headers be a good buy for me? I need to get some for my new H/C/I I am collecting parts for

Long tubes make much more power and would be best. But if you like me and have to worry about smog laws shorties are your only choice.

JBA Shorties

I have smog. with what i am doing longtubes would be super easy to just drop in while the heads are off. but I plan to run a turbo sooner or later and the longtubes wont work whereas i can reuse the shorties. smog pump is coming off anyway when i do the h/c/i its worthless

save up some money and go with the FRPP ceramic shorties. you won't regret it. i'm on an extremely limited budget myself and waiting longer to get some better parts is definitely worth it in my opinion. if you buy **** now, you will definitely regret it later when you spend more money to replace the junk you bought earlier...but to each his own, i suppose. my ceramic coated FRPP's went on with no problems and are holding up excellent. i recommend you consider them especially if you are looking to stick with shorties...oh, and you definitely don't have to take apart your steering rack if you choose to use the FRPP's, even though the instructions claim you need to...

I have some BBK Ceramic 1 5/8 UnEqual for a steal..PM me

 

[95 Snake]

I have mac unequals but nothing sounds better then long tubes, nothing

The best and most expensive: Bassani. BBK is a very good product for the money though, I know many people running bbk headers with no problems to speak of.

What do you long tube guys do for emissions?...BTW...I run the Mac shorties with the HTS coating and they fit and look like ass. I've always heard bbk was much better...and the local stang shop around here recommends JBA headers...they look sweet too. I regret buying the Macs and not the JBA's, but it was a difference betweern 140 and 375 dollars and I was in a hurry.
