- The header leak is fixed and the SS is sounding better than ever! The car has BBK shorty headers and stock pipes that lead to the Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers on each side.
Loved! Loved to see these as a kid. Sad to see less of them now. Bravo.
That’s a nice melody 🔥
Thanks 🔥 watch out for my next video which will be on my new exhaust setup
@@MidnightBlue98 will do I’m still beating about removing the cats on mine
@@andree1kk986 if you don’t live in California or New York, I highly recommend straight pipe from headers back. Really gets that V8 roaring
@@MidnightBlue98 true but I don’t want my check engine on or the cabin too loud but I would love the marauder mach 1 coyote or cobra sound lol
@@andree1kk986 that’s true also and you’d have a pretty rough idle without the O2 sensors. I’m not a fan of Ford but that cobra sound is just crazy 🔥
Big 5.7L V8!
Well done, sir!
Sick impala!
Does aftermarket headers affect reliability?
Only if your vids came out a while back I would have picked up a set of bbk headers on facebook market place for 180 bucks and tried the install myself, they were re-done but the labor costs from the exhaust shop was steep so didn't go for it
Yeah I contemplated them as well because I knew it was going to be super expensive having a shop do them for me. I ended up just pulling the trigger on them and my buddy helped me take them off and prep for the install. Aside from the headers, I only paid $120 for the converters to be welded back.
@@MidnightBlue98 I'm with BBK headers quick question do they get so hot that stuff burn in the engine some guys are saying?
@@elhadjiseck9033 you need ceramic coating headers I have them on my 1995 impala ss they won’t burn anything but if you go cheap and buy not ceramic it will more then likely burn stuff
@@MidnightBlue98 I have BBK headers and straight pipes no cats sounds good but when driving at high rpm it sounds very raspy what muffler would you recommend?
@@elhadjiseck9033 it’s probably because of your cats since you don’t have them, but that’s just my guess. Since you have no cats, I’d recommend the 40 series delta flow. I believe I have those on mine and they sound very good without being too loud, but my sound is restricted because I have my cats on
Hey hey I have a 96 Impala SS. I got it from someone who put Hooker Headers on it. I'd like to switch to BBK headers b/c the 'Cookers' are burning holes in my coolant lines. Does your BBKs provide enough clearance for your coolant hoses?
Yes, I haven’t had any issues with the coolant hoses. I did have issues with the ac lines though so I recommend heat wrapping your passenger side header and your ac lines to avoid any headaches.
@@MidnightBlue98 Thanks man you're a life saver!
Nice!
Any fitment issues with the headers?
What tips are those?
They’re not brand specific, just custom ones that the shop I went to had in stock
How much horse power did the heads air and did you feel the difference
I’d say it picked up about 15ish on power. It definitely feels different and quicker. I do also like how deeper of a tone the engine has but honestly it depends on your tuner. A great tuner will almost give you 20, so about 15-20 universally.
@@MidnightBlue98 thank you I’m thinking about doing this to my 94 caprice my 5.7 will be mean with this
@@daireonorlando1444 if you live in a state where smogs won’t be an issue, go with clear image long tube headers. The best bang for your buck!! They’re a bit pricier but they’re the best ones hands down from all the research I’ve done. BBKs are good for a budget, but make sure you get your headers ceramic coated to keep the temps lower.
What kind of tips?
They’re custom 2.5in tips by the exhaust shop I went to for the mufflers
Oh I though there were marauder tios
Are you gonna h pipe it?
No, most likely cat-back 2.5in with the current mufflers I have.
Oh I see I that’s gonna sound good
@@andree1kk986 yes sir definitely louder. I gotta get it running 100% though lol
@@MidnightBlue98 same here i want mine louder but I already have most the exhaust done I don’t wanna cut my cats tho
@@andree1kk986 you can do electric cutouts. Probably the best option
Sounds stock
