BBK is a good company. I wouldnt get a BBK CAI because JLT is better and the same with the throttle bodies and plenum where accufab is better. I would on the other hand get some BBK longtube headers and midpipe. BBK is a good company and make some good products.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BBK SUCKS ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....if you plan to make real power...buy from Walmart...itll be better than BBK.....customer service is as much a joke as their products....their products should be sold as OEM replacements and not performance parts...

i dont have one BBK product on my car, but would never think of doing so. The only time i would think to use one would be on the 2V intake that never came out. It had a great design, but then again it was BBK.

I'm pretty sold on their headers not being bad. They're not Hooker or Kooks, but the price is right for most street Mustangs.

If I was putting down serious power I'd go elsewhere.

I've been looking at cold air intakes, and the BBK fenderwell mounted one runs pretty cheap. I'm one of those "you get what you pay for" type guys... theres is only $170 through Jegs... is it total crap or is the cold air intakes alright? They seem to be the only fender well mounted intakes I can find too. A little help here please

My car sits in the garage all the time but it does get cleaned and cared for, it's also a heated garage. My headers have MAYBE a couple years before the rust on the collectors eats through everything. It is pretty wild.

So can I just assume that the BBK cold air intake is junk too? who makes a GOOD, possibly fenderwell mounted, and not overly priced air intake?
