Long tube headers with standard xpipe?
Thinking about adding long tube headers. Novice that I am, I bought a bbk x pipe for the stock mainfolds. What to do? Will shorty headers be any where near the hp gain?

If you bought a BBK x-pipe and want to use LT headers down the road it will not work. You will have to purchase a bbk shorty x pipe catted or offroad. either will work. The shop that installed my shorty's told me that shorty headers are a waste of money and you see no gains.
|
i have shorties on mine and noticed a difference. while its not much, most dynos will give you a gain of 10 if you have supporting mods already.
|
Dont see a point in either installing shorties yourself, or paying for them to be installed. If you're going to do it, then get LT's. But like White said, youll have to get a new midpipe for long tube headers.

You can go on summittracing.com get a set of flowtech longtubes an a uncatted x pipe to go with it for about $345 thats cheaper than my catted prochamber...that really lit me up
|
Before you buy a cheap set like that, make sure youve talked to people that have installed them before so you know how well they fit. Also, check all the welds before installing.
|
just ask the muffler shop to modify your current X, they'll make it fit
