header noise bothersome
 
yeah, i just had some bbk L.T. Headers installed, sounds great, got some very good rwt&hsp results, only thing is that dam raspy noise when i out my foot in it.

Are you running a x-pipe w/ it? X-pipes are know to be raspy w/ higher rpms and h-pipes more muscle-car sounding.

Yes lt's and a x-pipe=raspyness...

header noise
 
yes, i have an x-pipe. what are my alternatives, can this noise be stopped. I know the installer says that noise is no problem, but,,, dang,, it bothers me, or should i try and get used to it. ?

ok guys, it sounds like i might need to change from x-pipe back to h-pipe huh ? will that hurt any hp/rwt/performance if i decide to go back, i mean that dam raspy noise sounds like "bad gas" that clattering noise when i put my foot in it. ( keep in mind) this is my grocery car & to & fro work car.

( MY ONLY CAR. LOL )

x pipe is supposed to give you more hp and h pipes give you more torque but either way its only 1-2 hp so you wont really feel a difference

Grady Rogers 10-18-2008 10:40 AM

ok, so do you agree, that the h-pipe will help the clatter noise. If just 1 to 2 hp loss, i can deal with that( i think) lol. Maybe i just need to deal with it a bit longer, get used to it i suppose. I can tell i'm gonna learn alot from this board. I would like to post a pic of my car like some of yall do, to where it shows in my threads / replys etc:

a catted pipe would really cut down on the raspiness but an h will def be better than an x, h pipes put out a nice deep tone

Ya get used to it
Its a Mustang NOT a Volvo!

H. noise
 
OK, it's been 3mnths since i got my hdr's, and that raspy noise when ya put ur foot in it, well, i'm use to it now, thats the answer, " Get use to it" lol.
