BBK/pypes combo

[adj86]

I have been thinking about changing my headers from stock to the bbk shorty headers at rpm outlets.

IN addition to this i want to install the Pypes X pipe also from rpm planets.

My two main question are: does anyone have this combo and how does it sound? My second question is why is the pypes x pipe so cheap compared to other x pipes that don't have cats on them? Thanks

the end result?

did you ever get the problem fixed with the pipe or did you send it back? what about the bbk's i have only heard good things about them.

I don't know what's going on with my pypes x-pipe. But, the BBK headers are cool... I went with the JBA shorty's.... my buddy has the BBK's and he seems to like them.

I appreciate the info. I got one more question. I am planning on my exhaust system having a 2.5 in. diameter pipe width. How do i tell if that will fit on those bbk headers?

search headers. shorties are a waste of $$$$. get long tubes for any real gain.

If you buy the BBK headers and the pypes x-pipe? Yes they fit togeather. Just make sure that the headers are "stock replacement length" and eveything should fit. If you buy long tube headers or mid-length headers they have "special" x-pipes of the correct lenght to fit.

Don't be afraid to ask questions when ordering the parts to make sure everything fits.

Yeah i am eventually going to end up buying some LTs, but right now I'm a 20 year old college kid on a major budget. Thats why the bbks and that pypes x pipe caught my attention.
