    huh? In what ways are they the worse? Customer service? Causing issues? Compatability?

    This might be an unfair assessment since they're 13 years old, but the BBK's on my old foxbody are pretty bad. Quality may have changed over the years, but the welds on the inside of the ports are terrible and look like they would really impede flow. I've put on two sets of pace setters on my other vehicles since I put those on way back when and I can tell you they looked much better and that's saying something since they're typically thought of as the lowest quality.

    BBK is junk. Don't waste your time or money.

    Get ARHs or kooks and call it a day. Period.

    I havent seen a kooks option for the 3.7 so I'll be holding off for a bit as the AMR is a pricey piece of hardware

    What really? And how many miles have you put on this car in the 10 years since you put the longtubes on? 500?
