RE: Experiences with BBK Lt's
U should c 300hp with lt headers and fullexhaustbut u maybe have to do a tb and a plenum to.If u do lt headers and some of the other bolt ons it should put u in the 26Xrwhp range and that equals around the 300hp at the crank.

Don't buy bassani stuff then go for BBK headers; it just doesn't make sense. If you're gonna buy the expensive cat-back and midpipe then spend the money for the headers too. My guess is gonna be, no, BBK headers won't bolt up to bassani mid-pipe. BBK's are not very well designed headers. They have to dent in one tube to let the steering column fit, and they won't even fit an auto tranny. That tells me they're a poor fitting header, and probably need to be matched up with the BBK midpipe. A bassani X-pipe isn't gonna sound any better than a BBK X-pipe. I guess I'm just confused as to why you would spend the extra on mid-pipe and catback (the more unimportant parts) and go for a cheaper set of headers (the more important part of the exhaust).
PS: I think X-pipes sound like garbage anyway. Go with an H-pipe for the deeper more muscle-car sound.

Thanks, alot for the help brother. So with that said would bbk headers and mid pipe still get me past the 300 h.p. mark at the fly. I am on a budget so maybe i will just do the bbk lt's and mid. My car is a 5 speed so that dent in one header should be o.k. I remember reading something about that in the description from bbk. Oh yeh and as far as breaking the 300 h.p. mark that is with cat back and dyno tune as well.
Thnaks, alot...

RE: Experiences with BBK Lt's
i have the bbk long tubes on my Bullitt and i love them. i am buying the bbk matching h-pipe thursday. i have a x pipe with Magnaflow exhaust and the sound is killer. well worth the money for me. I have to change my clutch so i will have a fun time. it will take about hour longer because you have to drop the passanger side header to get tranny out but i can do it my self so there is no labor charges for me.

Then maybe I misread the post but didn't you say you were looking for a header and midpipe? These are cheap and sound great!
