bassani mid length headers vs hooker long tube

01dutchGT · October 30th, 2007, 10:08 PM

What is the hp difference between these two. I have a bassani xpipe so i know the bassani will work fine but im not going to pay for it unless its better or same. Would the hooker headers be better or bassani

AndrewA. · October 30th, 2007, 10:59 PM

Lts are better/ the best. The longer the header is the better it draws heat away.

Montanasvt · October 31st, 2007, 12:31 AM

I have hookers and mine put down 318hp 318 tq....

Drgnracin72 · October 31st, 2007, 12:33 AM

probably not gonna be a huge difference on the hp numbers but l/t are def gonna be better

mattstang · October 31st, 2007, 12:45 AM

ive read posts of people on here saying they have o2 sensor problems wiht l/t's so i think this was the answer make midlengths so the o2 can still read well and you get some of the advantage of a l/t

whtpny · October 31st, 2007, 12:51 AM

emissions is another thing you should consider.. some places have laws on that.. and with lts u wont pass

Montanasvt · October 31st, 2007, 12:58 AM

do long tubes make more exhaust fumes???

I have a Bassani X pipe too and plan to get the mid length headers. I don't think the LT headers will give that much of a noticeable advantage over the Bassani mid lengths. Plus the mid lengths do not have the same clearance issues as the LT headers. I plan to lower my car some so that is important to me here in NYS. Our roads suck! The mid lengths are supposed to Add up to 30 crank horsepower. I'm not sure what the Hooker LT headers add, but I doubt it's alot more.

I doubt You'll get 30 hp out of a stock or mildly modded car with mids.

So do I. I think that number is the highest possible gain you will see off of those headers and it's probably on a SC application.

2000stangGT · October 31st, 2007, 09:34 AM

im getting the mid-lengths over the the winter and will have a full bassani exhaust

neckbonekat · October 31st, 2007, 09:44 AM

This is the cheapest I can find the ceramic coated ones right now. $574 shipped! Everyone else is usually over $600.

coffinator6 · October 31st, 2007, 05:26 PM

i have a set of hooker l/t with matching x-pipe for sale just had them ceramic coated. $550

Will the catted bassani xpipe that fits stock headers fit with mid length?

DrHolliday · October 31st, 2007, 06:49 PM

When I was helping Amphibrecon build his car he showed me a book he bought on the Modular 4.6. I'll have to ask him who its by. But he went through the 4.6 and did every mod you can think of to it piece by piece and brand by brand.

As far as headers, Hooker LT's had the biggest gain out of any. But they are pricey.

Yes, that is what I have. The mid lengths just eliminates the first piece of piping that comes from the headers to the cats. That is the mid pipe they are made for.

Smoothgrandmama · October 31st, 2007, 09:22 PM

There cheaper than those mids

RyanGT · November 1st, 2007, 12:59 AM

Can the EGR still hook up? Passing emissions would be nice! Otherwise im stuck with stockers...

01dutchGT · November 1st, 2007, 01:35 AM

emissions down here where i live only consists of not having the check engine light on. Thats why i still want to be able to put the cats on cause i have to bolt on bassani cats that i put on when its time for inspections. But ive always put hooker headers on my car and want to now but alot of people say it wont work.

If that is all your inspection is then you just need a tuner. With the tuner you can turn the O2 sensors off and you will not get a cel light. I have a O/R X pipe with no cel light thanks to my tuner.

I have no idea. Good question though. I'll have to find that out.
