Well , i finally decided on what headers to buy for space , ease of dropping trans , fitment , and finally price and that would be MAC . Now that I’ve decided , NOBODY is carrying them anymore . So now the only comparison that i can see to MAC is BBK . I have no problem with that but I’m hearing they have ground clearance issues . And they hang very low , i don’t want that . Came anyone confirm ? And can anyone running them give me their opinion on them . Thank you

I have no experience running them, so disregard this if you like, but I was never crazy about how they pinched primary #6 so much.

I have them since new

I had no fitment issues

Steering shaft was no problem

I did have to use longer harness o2 sensors on front.

I do have a crack. Passenger side in between where 4 tubes meet.

Ac drains on it. Assuming the cause

I have hit at times but on nasty dips

Trans has to be out before bell housing can twist out Still a driveway job

I have done just TOB and bell was able to come back enough to do also in driveway.

Use oem steel header gasket

Drivers side.

I had cut Gasket was 2 pieces on that side

Dip stick is a pita but will slide back in


Install time depends on skills.

15hr may be normal to pull stock and install these

Using head studs is best where you can

I had to use different bolt on cyl 7 bottom little tight

I do like mid pipe connection on these

Ball style. Never had a leak.

I’ve installed many headers on these car . I just drop the K . Easiest way . I was just wondering on the headers themselves
