BBK LT&x-pipe -vs- O/R H-pipe for stock setup, anyone with real world dyno#'s?
I have both the BBK setup (LT and catted Xpipe) and a MAC off road H pipe for shorties. I can installl the MAC for free now or wait a month or two and do the BBK setup. I'm just curious if anyone has dynoed a LT combo vs just an offroad pipe. Not too concerned with the peak to peak numbers but actual usuable power differences. Long tubes have to be worth at least 20-30tq over the o/r H pipe alone, anyone with actual comparisons and driving experiences?

unless you have boost...then you wont really benefit from LT's. yes you will get better results with lt's than stock manifolds and shorties in general, but the restults of LT's on an N/A car and installation/the pain in the *** to install doesnt justify the cost at all.

longtubes are known to yeild anywhere from 15-25rwhp/tq. Where pure is probably pointing is that that small return is not much compared to the 800-1000 dollars it will cost to get them installed.

If you wanna get LTs I suggest doing the work yourself. Its not as bad as everyone says. I really didnt know that much about cars when I did mine and I finished in about 3 days. This site has the step by step directions I followed when installing mine. LTS are definitely worth it...performance and sound. http://www.fnsweet.com/garage/ltinstall.shtml

Then it's definitely a deal. Do them! I paid $425 to have mine installed, and that is what most performance shops in my area charge. Then the tune cost me $350.

Either way it will be done in the next couple of months.
Now it's time to search for a 4.10 for sale!

I wish i could post my dyno sheets on here so you can see. yes, just the bbk lt and high flow cats, also put the k&n filter on it also, but after those 3 items i gained 48rwt 25hp.
