Will Headers Make My Stang Louder???

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 09:36 PM

Im thinkin about getting BBK long tube headers put on my pony most For the HP gain but i was wondering if it would make my exhaust louder... Does it? I already have Flowmaster mufflers installed just FYI

F8L GT · September 27th, 2009, 09:38 PM

Yes it will change the sound of your exhuast. I love the sound difference after my LTs

PowerShiftz02GT · September 27th, 2009, 10:14 PM

hell yeah it will. it's sounds amazing though. You will need a new midpipe don't forget. you'll need a shorty one.

00redgt · September 27th, 2009, 10:18 PM

yeah you will gain few hp but will gain alot better sound

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 10:23 PM

mid pipe? my stock H-pipe wont work?

also whats the difference in a long tube header and a shorty header??

sweet im all about makin the exhaust louder

F8L GT · September 27th, 2009, 10:29 PM

no your stock mid pipe will not work. long tube headers come out under the car instead of right after the the cylinder on the rear of each cylinder head.

00redgt · September 27th, 2009, 10:33 PM

there is no big gains with shorties.,and steeda has a sale on there long tubes right now

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 10:41 PM

OH! i see now, thanks for the photo bro! +1
i plan on gettin a X-pipe sooner or later tho.
so if i get long tube heads wat would u recommend for the mid pipe?

because of his first question i think he means whats the physical difference.

F8L GT · September 27th, 2009, 10:44 PM

rule with LTs is to get the same brand mid pipe as the LTs. Unlike shorties that are made to fit to the stock mid pipe, Not all LTs have to exit at the same location so you may have fitment issues of you pc it together with different brands

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 10:51 PM

So Long tube BBK headers with BBK shorty catted X-pipe?

oh and whats the difference between off road mid pipes and catted?
im guessing off roads r ALOT louder ha

F8L GT · September 27th, 2009, 10:53 PM

yes O/Rs are louder because they dont have cats on them that soak up some of the noise.

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 10:54 PM

thought so.
thanks for the info dood

PowerShiftz02GT · September 27th, 2009, 10:55 PM

Also, O/R is Raw/raspy sounding, while Catted is a Smooth sound.

40thmustanggt · September 27th, 2009, 10:56 PM

z28 killer? uhhh

goto american muscle and buy a pypes o/r short h and long tubes.

Shaun03GT · September 27th, 2009, 11:01 PM

^^ lmao I was thinking the same thing.

Yea go with Longtubes. Typical gains are 10-15rwhp. Shorties suck and arent worth the money.

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 11:03 PM

thats right son.
Americanmuscle.com is the shit!
ive never heard of Pypes... Ive seen them but im thinkin BBK
and i dont think o/r is street legal where i live ha

F8L GT · September 27th, 2009, 11:04 PM

If i put Z28 killer in my sig are you going to laugh at me too

Pittbull · September 27th, 2009, 11:07 PM

i raced 2 of my friends that have z28s beat em both and they started callin my that so i figured wtf haha

you in southcaroline right? then o/r is fine. pypes is a good brand better then bbk in my book. what year z28?? must be like before 93 because 93-97 is drivers race most of the time the z will edge out with the win. and 98-02 is no contest with a stock mustang even with a shitty driver you still woud lose unless you only race to like 60mph. but check out pypes brands on youtube and you can hear some sound clips
