scraping the BBK, and installing the prochamber.what to expect?

[kovacs22]

Got sick of the leaking and fitment issues as well as the raspy decel sound of my BBK off road X pipe so i got a steal on a prochamber on its way soon, one thing i noticed is tht the new prochambers come in four peices which to me seems like install would be simplified because i could bolt up the tubes to the header so they seal up right and dont have to bare the wight of the rear section of the pipe, then i can bolt that in...is that a acurate assumption? and what differences should i notice with my mac cataback?

thanks,
ryan

a much better sound then BBK O/R X.
u'll kick ur self in arse for not getting ProChamber first. I know i did when i switched from BBK O/R X to ProChamber.
and as far as your install discription, thats about right. u might want to look up on getting NAPA studs mod just to be sure. And DO NOT use frimsy gasket Mac comes with

 

[kovacs22]

this may sound like a dumb question but how do i get the studs out? oh and is there any way that i can buy the adaptor sleeve from mac? because im buying the pipe used and im not so sure its going to come with that...any ideas?

Call the Mac factory and ask for the adaptor and they'll send you one. That's what I did.

With the adapter, you shouldn't need the NAPA studs. It fills in any gap due to the factory studs not being threaded all the way. I also re-used the factory passenger side gasket and it works fine.

I didn't use the stud kit. I only used the sleeve and have no leaks. Please don't use the POS Mac gasket on the passenger side. Go buy a new one from Ford for $8.

The 4 piece design makes this the easiest midpipe to install since you only have to line up one piece at a time. Jack up the chamber portion before completely retightening the whole assembly. This will let the pipe sit higher and not scrape.

You'll love the sound with your mac catback!

cant wait, thanks for the help guys. and Turboscrew: how much did mac want for the adaptor sleeve? and how did you reach them?

thanks,
ryan

4 piece? Mine was 3. Two legs and the chamber.

Right. It's the same with their newer H's. Two legs and the H already fabricated.

diff. sound, thats it

 

[Mossberg]

Yeah, well, technically 4 piece with the sleeve but we'll just say 3 piece.
