I was surfing craigs this weekend and found BBK long tube headers for $150 for sale. Im supposed to keet up today and buy them. I think its a good buy but input would help. What all do I need for a good long lasting install? I'm not going cheap on other parts. What should I expect cost on installation?

I installed mine by myself. And it sucked haha. Ive heard it costs around 500 to have installed.

You will most likely need gaskets for those and make sure they fit you're car model, but yes 300-600 on install

Are they worth buying? I am planning on putting cams in down the road.

They give you great sound and good power. Remember you have to get a shorty midpipe. For a 600 dollar upgrade and 20 hp I think it's good and great sound

Those pipes look pinched and crushed

 

[Venomouz831]

Yea was going to say looks like it has some dents

 

[jjsg09]

Bbk purposely puts dents to fit the K member so there is no contact 4 rattling

 

[McNassty]

Seriously? Because mine didn't have any dents when I installed them

Ok cool I got them and they check out ok.

That's cool, good buy. If I were you I would ceramic coat them, saves your engine bay from a lot of heat

I looked this up before buying the headers. Do you know a real good way or tips on doing this the best way?

 

[McNassty]

I bought mine ceramic coated already so I don't really know but maybe one of the other guys on here will know. I'm thinking you may be able to buy some of that high temp ceramic paint from an auto parts store and do 4-5 coats
