BBK Long Tubes

What's the communities opinion on these?

Price looks great but no clue on quality or how the cats hold up.

Personally I'm a kooks fan, can't go wrong with their headers.

I started looking at Kooks first which I do like. This setup looks likes it's easy to go between highflow cats and catless depending on the need. Probably others do this too.

I sent an email asking just that. I'll post their response once I get it.

Their price is right on par with JBA. Personally, after having BBK products on various cars throughout the years, if I had the option between anything that JBA made versus BBK, I'd go with JBA every single time. The last set of their headers I bought, required a lot of clean up work inside the runner at the flange.

Ive had a few sets of bbks on some older cars. Seems like the stainless starts turning rainbow colored after a few weeks of use on my older gen cars. Overall decent imo.

yes they are.

EDIT: Sorry I was responding thinking the question was about Kooks.

No worries. Still researching different options but I do like the kooks too. I know a bunch have gone catless but I'm not sold on that but it might be the best option for my setup. Would really like to be able to switch back and forth so I can better make my mind up. A nice set of long tubes with an easy cat insert would be nice.

The Kooks has this exact thing. The cats are not part of the headers and can be popped off and cat deletes put right back in their place.
