Okay my Dad may be buying me some Long-tube headers for Xmas He knows he has to buy AOD specific ones, but here is my question I acquired a BBK short H-pipe w/cats that came off a 5-speed car a while back. If he bought me MAC Longtubes (they make AOD headers) Would it match up?

Thanks guys

I could be wrong and we need more people to chime in on this one, but I think it will work perfectly. It does not matter if it is BBK or Mac as long is it is Long tube to shorty with aod specific for both.

i thought the headers dont matter if its a 5spd or a AOD

only matters with the midpipe (H or X)

you should be fine, I don't think there is any difference in H pipes regarding auto or 5spd.

no diff in mid pipe whether its 5sp/auto. At least not for the shorty header midpipes...
