h pipe suggestions

[asufordpimp]

well, i was drivin along today, and creeped over a speed bump, but caught my bassani pipe on it.... now it has a nice hole in it (about 7 inches long)... needless to say i was really pissed, but anywho..... what are yalls suggestions on off road h pipes? ive been lookin at the mac pro chamber... thinkin about goin with it, whats yalls suggestions?

 

[asufordpimp]

know it hasnt been long, but bump

I think if i were to buy a new h-pipe, i would go with the prochamber, everyone says it sounds the best and performs great.

Is there a price limit to this? Did you like the Bassani? I know they make a good product, so why not stick with it? I also heard great things about the prochamber, and if I were to buy a pipe again, I would go with that. Any reason why you are going from an x-pipe to h-pipe?

 

[asufordpimp]

the x has occasional slight clearance problems with the t56, and the x also, from all the ones ive heard, sound a little bit higher pitched than the h's.... i really liked the bassani pipe though.... just sorta wanna get something with a deeper rumble, not quite so raspy, which from what ive been told the pro chamber is pretty much what im looking for....

bump

Sounds like you did a little more than creep over a speed bump -- I've had plenty of scrapes with different exhausts and never did that kind of damage!

Anyway, I'd stick with a major manufacturer like Bassani, BBK, etc.

when i went over it my speedo wasnt even registering that i was moving.... so i was creeping, but damn these foot tall speed bumps here at school....

im still open to suggestions....

Are you using shorties or long tubes? I have a BBk lt/h-pipe/2-chamber flows. I don't know how much you worry about rust, but I live in ohio, and my "ceramic coated" bbk headers have started to rust/flake off in about a year. They sound awesome, very deep rumble, no rasp whatsoever. I don't think they knew what they were talking about but ..... I have had people ask me if I had a big-block in it.

 

[asufordpimp]

im using bbk shorties

Everything i've heard about the prochamberhas been good. Also I plan on going with one so that should be reason enough to pick one

asu : are they the chrome or the ceramic ones and have you had any
problems with them? What kind of mufflers were you using and haw raspy was the x-pipe? (one of my friends is considering the h vs x pipes)

Is there a prochamber available for longtubes?

P.S. Does anyone have any sound clips of a prochamber?

 

[asufordpimp]

im using the ceramic ones, and havent had any problems with them at all
im using mac pro dump mufflers
the x was very raspy and metallic sounding
yes, there is a prochamber for longtubes
and heres a soundclip of a 91 5.0 with stock headers and 2 chamber flows

i ordered a prochamber this morning, and cant wait for it to get here

That sounds pretty sweet.

Mine almost sounds like that but I think the lt's make mine a little deeper.

 

[asufordpimp]

yeah, it does sound sweet, heres an 87 with the same setup except for a mac offroad x to give you an idea of the amount of difference the x has....

imo it doesnt sound as good.... but hey, im all about the deep rumble....

 

[Ohio 1989GT]

yeah the x is much raspier (is that a word lol) i like the chamber much better thanks a lot!

btw - how much did your t56 set you back and where did u get it? also how much/where from is your brake kit? Im lookin to build a stroked 351 or somthing along the lines of your combo, but I got sidetracked by a deteriorating body.

 

[asufordpimp]

the t56 set me back way too much (about $3000 for trans and install kit).... but dear god is it sexy..... it came from D&D Performance
and the brake kit came from frpp heres the link to it Cobra R Brake Kit

 

[dastang2]

you wanna sell that x pipe if you get something else

 

[asufordpimp]

its got a 7 inch long hole in it and is pretty crunched.... but sorry, one of my friends already claimed it

im just waitin on my prochamber to come now.... ordered it this morning

Can you buy directly from frpp?
