BBK or Mac Headers?
Hey on an 02 GT w/ 5-speed o/r prochamber, and magnaflow catback system should i get BBK or Mac Longtube headers? Which is best for this setup? Will the BBK tubes even work with the Mac prochamber?

I have the BBK's they do have a dent for teh steering shaft, but it makes no performance diffrence. I went with BBK because I heard from some guys with the MAC's that they scavenge so well they will suck oil out of your engine ?????

From what I understand, you are able to change the clutch with the Macs in, but if Im wrong, please let me know because I dont wanna give out bad info. The BBK's for SURE have to come out for the new clutch, but imho, you need to put in a new clutch if you ever put longtubes on, just to save the hassle. Id get the Macs, and the only thing Ive read about the oil problem/major scavenging issue is on the 4v cars. Anyone with 2v experience can pipe in and let us know. I know Dan loves his, and has had no problems.

I just recently installed a set of Jet hot long tubes. They are a cheaper copy of the Hooker's. On the good side you can drop the tranny without dropping the headers. On the bad side there is contact with the steering shaft and they are too tight to clear the floor pan so they rattle. I am going to have to drop them and beat the floor pan in a little to get rid of the constant rattling. I would go with the Mac's if I had to do it again, good price and good power. BBK's are supposed to be good but they won't fit around an automatic and the Mac's will.
