I'd avoid the long tubes, especially on a lowered car.  Not worth the headache, nor the inability to go over speed bumps. 

Personally I'm not a fan of BBK stuff.  I used tons of it on Fox bodies over the years and IMO its all cheap garbage.  It fits decent and looks good for a while, but in 10 years it looks like crap.

Nothing wrong with JBAs if they fit your application.  I have a set on my '67 (had to dent one tube pretty good to clear my Borgesson box) and another on my '89 GT.  First rate quality, just wish the set on my '67 had one tube reworked to clear an extremely common modification on these cars, or a note that they don't clear before I bought them. 

Here's a couple pics of my FPAs. As you can see, they are above my subframe connectors and are invisible from the side.

Today I got out of work on time so I tried to call Stan today from FPA but was unable to reach him.  I'm hoping this week is slow so I can work on the mustang some more.  

My car has the Rod & Custom front end so there is no need for a PS drop bracket but being its an MII front end does changes things.  This is also why I've been researching this on and off for a several months.  I think I have an old post on here about it.

The JBA headers I posted are recommended by R&C, so I know they will work.  My next question is will it be worth it to purchase the FPA headers versus the JBA.  For now I'm pretty confident that it's between these two headers for my project.  FPA has tried to reach me a few times last week but I worked late every day and was unable to answer his call.  I do want to hear what Stan from FPA has to offer/say.

Just have to be careful when the headers are listed for 260-351w.
They may hang low on 260,289,& 302’s.
Not a great combo if car is lowered.
If it requires a power steering drop bracket, the header will hang low.
