Mac vs bbk lt

dbmustanggt · February 6th, 2012, 05:00 AM

Witch lt would u guys go with Mac or bbk? I just don't see the gains to run kooks

95mustangGT/SVT · February 6th, 2012, 10:26 AM

I went with flowtechs... I don't think it really matters very much to be honest. The flowtechs are tucked up nicely and allow the trans to come out easily.

mrbigjeep · February 6th, 2012, 10:33 AM

neither. mac fits way too tight and i don't think the bbks are much better

dbmustanggt · February 6th, 2012, 10:53 AM

Hmm now I don't know what to get the headers I were going to get ill have a grand in to them witch is a lot for header I feel like

Mac sounds better but I have BBK Long Tubes, BBK Shorty Off Road X Pipe, and Flowmasters. From just putting those on I gained 12rwhp and 12rwtq. I can't remember how much I gained after it was tuned from them.

marcd · February 6th, 2012, 11:42 AM

i have MACs and i bottom out everywhere. that might be just a longtube thing idk

codycat91 · February 6th, 2012, 12:01 PM

Bbk FTW!

I8ACMRO · February 6th, 2012, 01:04 PM

Bbk's have that aweful looking crimp in one of the tubes to clear the stock k. I would do flowtech tho over both choices u have

roosgt! · February 6th, 2012, 01:04 PM

I would run flowtech, but imo i would save long tubes for my last mod i would do to a car.
$- hp gain isn't really worth it.

Cabikejumper · February 6th, 2012, 01:21 PM

I went flowtech. Macs were going to be bought but too tight. Flowtech let's you drop trans without hitting headers. Bbk leaks alot

Eagle2000GT · February 6th, 2012, 03:01 PM

I've got 76,000 miles on BBK LTs and catted x-pipe and I've not had a single leak. I picked BBK because at the time they were the only ones making a catted x-pipe. I think you are more likely to get leaks when you mix and match parts from different manufacturers. The only bad thing I see about BBK is that you have to loosen the passenger's side to get the transmission out. Even after everything was taken apart and put back together for the new clutch the system didn't leak.

dbmustanggt · February 6th, 2012, 04:11 PM

K thanks guys n only reason I'm doing header is cuz I'll be installing a k member same time my d1 goes on n figured the header would help alittle

95mustangGT/SVT · February 6th, 2012, 08:00 PM

The headers do help! They help under the curve more than the peak HP numbers. I did mine because I had a leak.... they sound awesome as well. I would certainly do it again

Has anyone tried hooker headers?

Can't see why hooker would be different than flowtech besides paying for the name. They are both made by Holley. At least thus my thoughts.
