Ceramic Coated Long Tubes!?!?

[Stephen93Cobra]

I'm trying to figure out which Ceramic Coated Long tubes to go with Mac/BBK, or if there are any better out there? Can you all help me decide and point me in the right direction please? I've already got the Dr.Gas X-pipe and Warlock cat-back! I just need some of your inputs!

Thanks,
Stephen

BBK FTW. great fit and finish. Mac fit like crap.

Exactly, MAC LTs are garbage. The flanges are all seperate and the fitment I heard sucks. On the BBK LTs, the flanges are all welded together and the finish is great looking on the ceramic ones.

when i was asking everyone reccomended hookers....

I run the BBK LT's. No fitment issues and seem to be holding up great. You will need a different mid-pipe for the LT's. Great price for the product IMO. Only down fall is the passenger side need to be removed to pull the tranny where the Hookers I don't think you have to.

I just installed bbk longtubes this weekend, they fit great and don't leak at all. deffinately recommend them

 

[Stephen93Cobra]

BBK's were my first pick! Thanks guys!

dekorum: what exactly do you mean about the flanges?

 

[Dekorum]

The pipes that actually bolt up to the heads are seperate on the MACs. On the BBKs its like one piece. All the pipes are welded together where they bolt up to the heads.

^^^

Which helps seal the exhaust as a whole, and not individual tubes, which causes more leaks than a single flange. MAC < all when if comes to headers.

i love my hooker.... headers.

But with bbk's you have to loosen one header to get the trans out. I vote hooker, kooks, slp, or stainless works. Hooker will be cheaper than the last three by far, but the last three are top notch headers.

i have the ceramic bbk's and love em

Since your car listed is a 93 Cobra, I will take it you are asking about a Foxbody -5.0.

Based on personal experence, I vote for the BBK ceramic long tubes. We have them on my son's 89 and have had the trany, bellhousing, clutch & flywheel out numerous times and never had to touch the headers. All parts just slip right out.

I've also got a 95 and 97 GT! I'm getting them for my 95 though!

 

[montanagrog]

Ok which are you asking for?

I have a 94 and went with BBK Ceramic LTs. No problems at all and plenty of ground clearance.

I installed BBK Ceramic Lts in my buddys garage. They where a trial going on. Everything fit but 1/4" turn at a time on some bolts made for one long afternoon.

The fit was not completely there. My air injection tubes are no where close on the drivers side. Its not too big of a deal, they look and sound awesome! And for the price I say it was worth it.
