summit o/r x just won't fit
Hey, I just bought a summit offroad x for my 95 GT and it won't fit. Tried it myself, then took it to a shop and they said it won't work. Its not the x it self that doesn't work but the pipes heading to the manifold itself. There are two pipes that connect the x to the headers and both of them come off in different angles and so forth. What o/r x are people running with their BBK shorty headers? I need to get this car on the road and am kinda upset that the summit kit did not work. Please post on up. Thanks.

I have a 94 GT with BBK O/R H pipes. No problems with fitment at all. I don't know if there is a difference but they could have sent you one that goes on a Fox body style???? Others here could expand on this, whether this is true or not.

I have a BBK H w/ BBK shorties...So it will connect to mufflers, but won't line up to headers?

are you leaving everything loose until it's all in place? How many pieces is the X pipe?

I think my game plan from the sounds of your response is to just get the bbk x pipe to match up with the headers. I was planning on doing that from the start but i figured its just a pipe and wanted to save money, but in the long run it sure didn't. Thanks for the posts. I wanted to hear people were running bbk shorties with a mid pipe that bolted in with no problems.

i got the summit o/r h pipe, it fit up no problem. hook up the pieces that go to the headers first, then work your way back. thats all I can really tell you. I don't understand how it didn't fit unless they gave you the wrong pipes. I'm running FRPP shorties and no problems.

did u try swapping the 2 downpipes....... cause there is a diffrence.....look at the o2 sensor bungs.....the driver side and passenger r closer and further away.... look at the stock midpipe match up which pipe goes where bolt the downpipes down first (LOSE) then run ur way back ..........i got a 86 with bbk equals to bbk o/r x pipe bolted right up .....plus buying cheaper deff doesnt help in any way.....one way or another its gonna bite u in the ***!!!!!!!!!!

I had that issue with my summit h pipe it was too wide come to find out my header flanges at the head were bent too far in on the dvr side. I put on a new set and the h pipe worked. I can't tell you how the stock unit fit,it was v6.
