Default Will mac headers work with BBK H pipe

Can anyone tell me if Mac long tube headers would bolt up to a BBK off road H pipe on a 1997 5.0L Mustang?

You meant '95 5.0L right??? Second I really don't recommend miss matching MAC and BBk parts, something will end up either too short or too long. I have BBK LT, and BBK H pipe, with a MAC cat back, it did not match up correctly. I had to cut about an inch off my cat abck system.

I did BBK headers, BBK H pipe, Flowmaster all matched up perfect! I would stay away from Mac if I was you...cheap parts...

You shoud not have no problems. Everything should match up. MAC with BBK and any aftercat shouldnt be a concern. enjoy.

I agree, Mac=Low Quality.

I have their equal-length headers. Never again.

the multi flange headers are going to move from their current location and they are known to rust out
