        BBK 1515 $186.99
        FMS M-9430-P50 $249.95

        Thats less than $65 difference, a far cry from a $200 difference.

          Those BBKs above are anything but equal length.

          In my opinion, the FRPP headers don't make plug changes on P heads very easy.

            I can't agree with you. I pull my plugs out often when I run nitrous. I have no complaints. The P specific FRPP headers are an improvement over the old FRPP headers that did not fit the P heads. That is why Ford went with a single header. They fit both heads and they are better designed.
            If you use a plug socket with a 6 point external end on it, it is even easier because you can use a ratchet wrench.

                  summit has the chrome ones. BBK only offers ceramic or chrome in the 1515. http://www.bbkperformance.com/produc...h-headers.html

                    these look like they might work... they're already painted... so you can just repaint to your liking.
