Hey guy's, just curious as to what the average/max HP numbers are good up to with the Mac O/R Prochamber ? some have posted as little as 5 over stock while other's have posted 8-10 HP gain...According to Brenspeed's dyno results ? The Pypes off road H-pipe had an 8 HP increase over the stock exhaust and was also curious if the Prochamber produces around either the same, less or more than the Pypes off road H

 

I think 5 to 8 is about it Rocky! I'm about ready to do the O/R prochamber myself! Its hard to find any honest figures, because most are tested with other mods too!

 

I know what you mean STD plus I couldn't see anyone starting out with an off road Prochamber before adding a CAI anyhow but if 5-8 HP is the best anyone can expect to get out of an off road Prochamber ? it seems that even at $379.00 is quite a huge chunk of change for those kind of results IMHO

 

Your right Rocky! but I'm also real interested in the exhaust note! I read a article months ago stating that a CAI and tuner got you the most HP for your money! but after that HP gains where attainable but started getting expensive! other than forced air induction and LT headers! each power gaining mod cost between $200 to $400 bucks and most net about 5 to 10 HP per mod! Its the old saying ( Speed costs money! how much do you want to spend!) ...........

 

Although I'm also interested in the exhaust note ! my main concern is reducing as much airflow restriction as possible and after talking everything over with Mike from Powerhouse Automotive ! I've decided it would be in my best interest to follow his recommendation by going with the Stainless Works Exhaust off road X-pipe that he can get for me at $280.00 which is nearly $100.00 less than the Mac O/R Prochamber at $379.00 and is also good for an additional 8-12 HP. in which overall should provide the best bang for the buck IMHO

 

Cool!.....That X pipe should give you that NASCAR sound! SW makes quality parts...Post some pics when you get it! Rocky have seen this Mac X set-up brenspeed has 209.00 shipped!

 

Actually STD I never really noticed until you just brought it to my attention and here I've browsed over Brenspeed's website on so many countless occassions but yet still didn't notice lol. so I'll definitely have to find out from Mike over at Powerhouse if he'd recommend the MAC off road X-Pipe as an alternative over the SW as that $209.00 shipped price is looking really good although the SW is made from 304 grade Stainless Steel where if I'm not mistaken ? the MAC X-pipe is probably 409 grade Stainless but at that price, who cares just as long as it's Stainless...

 

It probaly is 409! but the price is right! I've check out a few X pipes! What I find interesting is how different the X cross over is! from one to another, theres many different theories on how the X should cross!

 

Now that you mention it ? I've noticed that as well for ie both Magnaflow and Bassani X pipes seem to have a small chambered box in their X design similar to the Prochamber box where on the other hand, the FRPP, Pypes, Mac and Corsa X-pipes seem to have a more traditional design in which the pipes just merge together in an X pattern..In the meantime, I'll follow up and let you know what I find out from Mike tomorrow..

 

I hear a MAC price-beat in the near future!

If you want stainless O/R X go Bassani. I just know their fitment is ideal. We sell them for $319, I believe?

I have a MAC offroad Prochamber in perfect condition (only on my GT a week) for sale if interested......

 

^ Bingo!

 

Would that $319.00 happen to be for the Bassani BAS-46052 ? and what's your price beat for the Mac off road X ?

 

CR, did I here you say you would sell Rocky and I the Mac O/R X pipe for 150.00 shipped....

 

$150.00 shipped for the Mac O/R X-pipe would sound just about right STD, especially for the 409 grade SS Anyhow, I ran both the Mac and Bassani X-pipe scenarios as possible alternatives with Mike from Powerhouse Automotive and although the Bassani offers the Hybrid X chambered design over the traditional welded X cross design ? the pipe material itself is the lower grade 409 Stainless Steel, he then also pointed out that very little would be gained from a performance standpoint as well..Therefore it would be in my best interest to follow his recommendation and go with the Stainless Works O/R X-pipe which is the higher quality 304 Stainless Steel for $280.00 in which I seriously doubt if CR could beat that price

 

Woah woah woah! A little faith! I was quoting you on the traditional bassani X pipe, no chambered design, here. Just a smooth flowing X crossover? Also an 18 month warranty and 304 stainless? These are the same people that did designing for FoMoCo and Shelby!

Anyway, I want to be positive, but I'm almost 100% sure I can beat the Stainless works price. However, I'm not the biggest fan of their product after a $1300 Trailblazer SS system had to be sent back twice before they got one that fit for us!

If you're referring to Bassani part # BAS-46052 ? I personally spoke with Sheldon from Bassani tech support who did confirm this is the same exact smooth flowing designed X that's found on the Shelby GT 500..However he also confirmed the pipe material itself is the lower grade 409 SS and not the higher grade 304 Stainless where on the other hand, the Stainless Works is the higher grade 304 SS which carries a lifetime warranty and is $40.00 less than the Bassani..And from my understanding ? only the BAS-46052 is designed for the 05-07 Mustang GT with 5spd. manual...

 

Hmmm... I will talk to Bassani tomorrow. They always prided themselves on the 304ss. Then again I haven't really dealt HEAVILY with them in the last year.... between 2004-2005 we did a TON of Bassani. Now we're just here and there with them. Let me confirm... I know it's a BX piece, but they used to claim to still use 304?

 

The BAS-46052 is the 409 grade Stainless and the BX-46052 is the composite steel version..In the meantime, let me know what price you can get for the Stainless Works o/r X

 

Rocky, check this chambered X out! I'm sure its made in China! but 304 SS chromed! and price!! is 95.00 + 39.00 for shipping on ebay!
