Default Installed BBK LT's & O/R X-Pipe

I had the bbk lt's and x-pipe installed today at my local ford dealer. It took them about four hours to do the install. I previously already had the stingers and a o/r h-pipe which sounded awesome, but the lt's really refine the sound and the x-pipe just screams on the top end. I also loaded a updated tune file for the lt's and I feel as though I gained 20rwhp and the same amount of tq from the exhaust combo and new tune. If you're on the fence about doing longtube headers don't be they are well worth the investment and you will love the new found power. I will be going to the track this weekend to see if I can finally get in the 12.90's on the stock 18's and bfg tires.

I think flows sound good with BBK LTs and BBK o/r X-pipe. But I might be biased

all though I didnt feel a hp increase after installing mine. Later that night I did the JLT cai and x-cal2 tunes from bamachips and the car pulled much harder.

Getting an updated tune file specifically for the longtubes is key because after the installI firedthe carup and drove it home on the existing tune which was just for the jltII intake, and o/r h-pipe and i noticed some small gains, but onceI got home and loaded up the longtube specific tune that doug had emailed me, it was a night and day difference betwen the two tunes. It's not fair how hard the car pulls now. I didn't think full exhaust could do so much for N/A car, but boy wasI wrong. LT'sa O/R x-pipe and a updated tune file FTW!!

How much louder did your exhaust get. I'm thinking of the same setup but with a catted x pipe.

w/ the LT's and o/r x pipe it gets 10x louder!
w/ cats maybe only 8.5 x louder

I already had a o/r h-pipe and frpp stingers soexhaust was pretty loudto begin with, but the longtubesrefined or cleaned up the tone of the exhaust and the x-pipe just makes it scream at the midrange and topend. Also there is no trumpeting thatI can here.
