Default Should I buy these headers?

This guy wants to sell me some headers. They are BBK tuned length shorty headers. I dont want longtubes. They look pretty good other than the fact that theyre a little dirty in the pics. He wants $100 shipped for them. Do you think I should get them? i am going to be running ported bullitt intake, ported heads with blower cams and 16lbs of boost. I am sure these will be able to handle that because I see cobra guys making over 700whp on stock manifolds.....

I don't like the notches in the primaries for the steering shaft. says to me they didn't take the time to work it out and just made a bandaid fix. For 100 bucks... meh can't really beat the price with a stick. Blower cars gain nicely with any aftermarket header.

Yeah you would be fine with them, BUT if you did go with long tubes you would see more power out of them.

I would get some mid length headers but that price is very tempting

Those flat spots are not good for flow, save your$$ and time and do something else. I went with Bassani midlength headers and removed the hookers since I want to lower it more.

For 100 bucks shipped, that's not bad at all. does suck how they boxed them for the shaft, but it'll have better flow than the stockers. If you install them, you could get them now and get something better later. If you pay to have them installed, then i would save up and get something better.
