thank you. not many talk about these headers. a friend of mine said don't buy BBK
I've used BBK on a few of the foxbody's I've had in the past. I've had them on my S550 for 15k+ miles, so far so good.

I prefer to compare my trap speeds to see if it works. I gained 3+ mph and dropped about a half second off my time after the install. I'm not trying to promote these saying they're the best, because they probably aren't. But for budget building I think they're a great choice and I've yet to have an issue.

If I remember right, the Atak is a 2.5" system, so along with headers, you should need the 'factory connect' connection pipes and the O2 extension harness and bolt kit will make life easier too.

Here's a video. I constantly get thumbs up from people driving by and asked what I have done when I go places. And once I got the Lund tune with it I was very pleased with the power gains. I don't have any dyno numbers after that though.
I also have the Gibson catback. Thanks for posting this video, i have been wondering what these two would sound like paired together! I dig it and may have to pull the trigger on a set. I know you've seen/experienced good things with these, but like others have stated already, the "word" on the BBk headers for our cars isn't a positive one, for the most part. I even had one vendor talk me out of them when i was thinking about ordering a set a few months back. Part of me is saying to just pay the extra couple hundred dollars and buy the Stainless Power set instead. :shrug:

I got a killer deal on them last year, installed them myself, extended my 02 harnesses myself, and had a shop fabricate some connection pipes for me. So my total cost for everything was $650. I'm balling on a budget which is why I went that route. If I had the funds, you can bet I'd have Kooks on my car. Either way the Gibson is pretty ridiculous with long tubes and no cats. You'll either love it or hate it. I might throw some cats on to tone it down a little.

Nice man. Yea, I'm somewhat on a budget myself. The SP headers aren't much more, but it's still a difference of like $200. How's drone with your setup? Since the Gibson drones a bit at certain RPMS already, my main concern is just that. I thought about having a shop weld in some Dynamax race bullets (resonators) if the drone or loudness is too much to handle.

Thanks again!

It does Drone a lot. I personally don't mind it and I rarely have a passenger, aside from when I have my kids. It doesn't keep them from falling asleep when we take a ride somewhere, so I just haven't addressed it yet.

Does it drone where the Gibson system did? Or is it constant drone in all gears? That would make a huge difference, as I know how to drive around the drone currently.
