Like Title states what brand of long tube headers you guys running?

I was looking @ bbk long tube headers, I currentley run ford racing shorty headers and a bassani x pipe for shorty headers.

I want to upgrade to a pair of long tube headers,I was wondering what you guys on modded built 5.0 cars run? and what size runners, 1 5/8's etc?

I also have to upgrade to a x pipe for long tube headers it looks like, I cant find a bassani x pipe like my with hi flo cats for long tubes.

I'm running Mac 1 3/4" longtubes because of boost, otherwise 1 5/8 would probably be enough. People complain about Mac headers because of the individual flanges but I have to say with the exception of those being a little pain in the ass the headers fit perfectly. No bending tubes for clearance, etc. Also make sure you get some for 94/95s.

BBK chrome plated headers. Never had a problem out of them. I assume the ceramic set keeps underhood temps. down better, but I was a little implusive when I purchased them at age 19. They were cheaper. I had no clue at the time either that hot chrome turned a blueish/purple

thank goodness for my cluttered engine bay, it keeps them hid pretty well!
