Dont get the BBK pipe. I have installed 2, and we had to use a 3 ton floor jack to spread the pipes to mate to the BBK headers. Also, they are having quality control problems because My headers had leaks at the primary welds, plus one of the pipes on the hpipe was not balooned out enough, and the clamp used to mount the muffler to kept popping off. Next time I will go Mac, you can buy direct from them, no middle man to deal with if a factory defect comes up. Do your self a favor, stay away from BBK.

I don't see why the BBK wouldn't fit but since you already have the other MAC pieces then why break up the string. That way all the pieces are made by the same company and should be a perfect bolt on fit.

Damn! I bought the whole BBK setup from summit but havent installed it yet. I hope I dont have the same probs you did. I will let you know.
