BBK Long tubes done!

Well I finally got my long tubes put in this week. It was alot easier than I though I it was going to be. The difference in sound was huge, I put my stock mufflers back on instead of the Flowmasters. I got a dyno tune from Sunshine Performance after the install and was pleased with the results, 325 horsepower and 338 lbs of torque. Now I can't wait for some good track time!

Hey guys, are your BBK's ceramic coated or just plain (no coating) ? How are they holding up? I assume that they are 409 steel, not 304..... can anyone confirm? A magnet won't stick to 304...... thanks.

Great numbers! How's your exhuast sound with the stock mufflers? I was thinking about going that route, only with the OBX longtubes.

I got stock mufflers with OBX LT\'s and the H-pipe with resinators on, Love it! Just enough tone so someone might knowtice when you cruise around town, no drone. But drop the hammer and everybody knows your exhaust is not stock.

BTW, SWEET #\'s!! on your new BBK setup!

I seriously just laughed out loud at Tom's chick magnet quote-- I think Ill be saving it for future blackmail!

Oh and Good call Doug for looking for magnets on the fridge, I had like 12!


And for the results-- The magnet stuck...Im not sure whether thats good/bad or what but that means they are 409

304 is better than 409 but really how much better for this application is hard to say........ for the price of these BBK's, I'd be happy though.

304

Better corrosion resistance and heat resistance but at higher cost

Yeah but power and sound both are cool...... I don't know, I'm thinking about LTs, cams, a bunch of different things that I really don't need LOL.
