Well he asked our opinions...facts are facts, the most you will see from short headers is 1-2rwhp thats why everyone goes longtubes.
Yeah long tubes were the first thing i though when i read the thread. But let the man enjoy his new additon. Yeah there not as good, but don't burn the guy. People always be hating no matter what it is.
No. Flowmaster have, and always will sound the best. Borla's really nice, but still no match
But considering the cost of labor and the amount of time to put in long tubes, I would have been better off just throwing in some rear end gears, leaving the stock manifolds in and then getting it tuned. The mid pipe shouldn't be an issue it's a pypes O/R X. I mean what's a pypes O/R X versus a BBK off road X or a Magnaflow O/R X!?!?!? not restrictive in any way!!! I'm just gunna go with it for now. Mildy Modded. this is what I have so far
BBK Ceramic coated shorties
Pypes O/R X
Custom Catback
Flowmaster original 40s
Ford Racing aluminim driveshaft
Pro 5.0 short throw shifter
Steeda Cold Air Intake
Steeda Pulley Kit
Accufab 70mm throttlebod/plenum
other than that, it's stock
mabey tuning it will get me a few more ponies
It is what is!!!
well I think I'm going to have my mechanic re-install my original manifolds. My 04 Mustang GT only has 6,900 miles on it, yup 6,900. I have played many times over the videos i took with my digital camera and compared the manifolds to the shorty BBK headers, def like the stock manifolds better sound wise, a bit louder. And Like I said, I think Flowmaster are the muffler sound experts. I also wonder if anyone know the difference in sound between an off road X pipe and an off road H pipe.
Well folks This Post Should now be considered Closed!!! I have the official responce to my issue from BBK themselves, it is as follows:
"The flow going through your headers is much greater than the stocfk
exhaust manifolds, so the end result is that the exhaust comng out is
smoother and less noisy.
It's like breathing really. If you breathe out with your mouth wide open
it's quiet. But if you close your mouth way down it becomes audible, and
if you close it almost all the way then you are whistling...."
