Long Tubes vs. Shorties

tomazzzo · 02-28-2001, 03:43 PM

I put bbk long tubes in my 93 GT 3 weeks ago.

Had to jack up the pass side, and remove the starter to get the hedder to go in from the bottom. If you have to deal with 02 sensors, go to www.downsford.com, and order a set of o2 extentions for 40.00. You will save time by not having to reroute the o2 wiring, risking burning the factory wiring, (I never could figure out how to get the length). You will have to cut one of the key tabs on the 02 sensor, and on one end of the extension cable to fit.

Be prepared to do some bending to get the BBK Hpipe to fit the headders. I have installed 2 sets of bbk longtubes and hpipes, had to use a 3 ton floor jack to spread the out the input tubes.
check every weld, especially at the collectors. My set of BBK hedders had factory defective welds.

Once I got the system installed and all the bugs out, I was able to get 20 rearwheel horses according to a gtech pro. I had a bad 02 sensor at the time and my k&n needed to be oiled, so I suspect once I fixed these problems, I could get another 10 0ut of the set up.
