Does anyone have these bbk Longtube headers? Are they any good as they seem to be considerably less expensive than the Kooks.

Also what is actually involved with installing headers?

A lot of reviews on various brands seem to say the install involved removing various components.

 

BBK are mild steel, so corrosion is a possibility. That's why they're cheaper. Installing headers is a huge PITA on these cars, unless you are a really capable gear head you should probably find a shop IMO.

 

I have a v6 and if Kooks were offered, I would have gone with them. You get what you pay for. Here are my BBK Ceramic coated long tube headers on my v6 https://themustangsource.com/forums/...1&d=1508405426

 

I have only 28,500 miles on my Mustang

 

Still liking my stainless BBK headers after at least 7 years. No complaints.

 

I'm surprised how they look being ceramic coated. Your going to need new headers in a couple of years. Do the top of the headers look the same?

 

They look pretty good on the top part of the headers. I 'think' I had around 10,000 miles when I installed the headers, so this was done in 18,000 miles . I don't drive my Mustang in snow but we don't get very much in Tennessee. I agree with you, I think they will burn through in a couple years

 

Those pictures have answered my question, kooks it is.

 

If you get cheap headers use this:
