my bbk shorty's bolted straight up. they have the egr tube for the r/h header. the replacement egr tube was too short so i had to modify the origional one. got them from summit in mcdonough. if you have the dough DON'T get the chrome bbk shorty's. i did notice a SOTP improvement. the header you choose really depends on your budget as with the rest of the exhaust. just do your research and you'll be ok. if you want shoot me a PM and i'll give you more info on the phone

I dont recommend the MAC headers, there is no solid flange where they meet the block, and it has caused me many blown header gaskets and headaches over the past few years.

I have a buddy with a 94GT. I helped him install a set of BBK shorties. He still has his stock h pipe and everything bolted right up. I have a 90GT and it had equal lenght BBK shorties and the stock h pipe with hollowed out cats when I bought it.

I REPEAT! DO NOT BUY USED MACS! They fit.... but take like 3 people to bend them back in to shape to fit your car....

My MACs work great, never had a problem at all, just make sure you buy decent gaskets, not garbage.
