My car is more of a week-end car. It's not my daily driver car.
I'll probably do it myself. I have all the tools and the help of the father of my girlfriend who is an excellent mecanic. Only thing I don't have access to is a lift. I have only some ramps.
Everyone is telling me to go with Kooks but I don't see why I should spend more cash.
Cermic dissipates heat better. For a daily driver though, it's really not going to make that big of a difference. It's a nice bonus but stainless steel is more than acceptable. I wouldn't go with anything aluminized. But again, I live in an area that gets salted.I understand your point. You are right. But what will I gain to go with ceramic or stainless steel. Lower temperature, more hp, don't rust?
I don't drive my car on winter since it's stored. It's not my daily driver but week-end car.
Stainless steel is really not cheap. Is there a good benefits other than lower temperature and don't rust that I would see with ceramic or stainless steel.
It's a toss up. Most people would agree there's two levels of common long tube headers, the most "finest" being products from companies like American Racing Headers, Kooks, Bassani, Dynatech etc etc and then "entry" level headers like Pypes, JBA, or BBK. Frankly, any option you choose will probably fit your needs perfectly fine and you'll never look back. Between your options, I keep swaying towards BBK and I'm not sure why to be honest...Didn't think of JBA. How was the fit? Might go with the hpipe, does it fit standard piping since I have only an axleback.
So it's between JBA and BBK.
The JBA's are stainless and that is why I picked them over the BBK.Didn't think of JBA. How was the fit? Might go with the hpipe, does it fit standard piping since I have only an axleback.

I think a lot of the shorty mids are a bit long because the last inch often reduces from 3" to 2.75" to fit the stock catback so when you couple to a 3"catback you cut the reduced section off.I think either one would be fine. I have the jbas on my car. They hug the body pretty good but do hang a tad low. I had to cut out about an inch of my catback due to the JBA mid pipe being long.
