Now I can't afford to buy this any time soon, but I was thinking about plans for my car, and I began to wonder, can I use the BBK catted short H-pipe with Hooker Super Compition headers?

I've heard numerous reports that BBK's headers limit ground clearance a bit, which would not be good for me as my car is lowered and speed bumps already present challenges. Where as I've heard that the Hooker headers are well built, have a HIGH quality coating, and provide some of the best ground clearance for a LT header.

Unfortunatly Hooker doesn't seem to make any mid pipes with cats, nor any short H-pipes for my car. ( I want a H-pipe with my Flowmasters), so I was hopeing the two brands could be used together.

 

No they cannot. The hooker headers are wider than the BBKs. Only the Hooker X-Pipe will fit the Hookers unless you make yourself a H-pipe. A tip, the Hookers are a pain to install, and they leak. I learned this from experience. I switched my hookers for BBks and I have no leaks now. And they dont hang below the body as I have a drop kit as well.

 

how about the Mac LT headers and bbk h?

 

MAC and BBK work together thats it.

 

sweet..i can forsee my next half of a performance mod

 

Not that I'm against BBK at all, just looking at all my options. WHat about Flowtech headers? I heard good things about them as well.

 

im either getting bbk or mac

 

Flowtechs are the same as Hookers, for some reason they dont fit right. Any Longtube makes the same amount of power. Maybe 2-3 hp off. Just make sure they are ceramic so they last.

I would recommend the Bassani Full Lengths. They increase power through the whole powerband.

If you really want to get serious get some JBAs.
