coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Anyone ever heard of BBK? If yes, any good? I found one of their headers for the civ and was wondering what y'all thought.
90IntegraC1 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 uh never heard of them....too bad they don't post prices. i don't like how they put "7-10 horsepower in an hour..." blah blah right, not until I see dyno results.
Ben. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 BBK is alright.. I wouldn't invest a ton of money into it, and no..you're not gonna' see their advertised gains. They normally stick to most domestic vehicles (Mustang's..yadda yadda).. Make better power on V8 cars, obviously.
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Well nothing provides the advertised gains. Bunch of mustang guys around here use bbk headers and like them so I was wondering if they have good ones for "sport-compacts"
airjordan223 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 usually companies for domestics arnt used for imports and visa versa. youll never see a stang with a tanabe exhaust
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Yea don't forget the fact that tanabe doesn't offer anything for mustangs. BBK atleast has a line for "sport-compacts"
airjordan223 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 in my experience sport compacts usually refer to the cavaliers and neons and blablabla. if its for a honda or something they usually say 'imports'. id stick to the companies that perform best on imports
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 I've always known sport-compacts to include imports and the neons and cavaliers, etc. No sense in arguing because I most likely will not get a bbk header. Just wanted some feedback.
Ben. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 usually companies for domestics arnt used for imports and visa versa. youll never see a stang with a tanabe exhaust I have seen one. And dear GOD did it sound like crap.
airjordan223 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 how is that possible if tanabe doesnt make them? was it just the tanabe muffler with custom piping?
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Mustang drivers are stupid. But I don't think they are that stupid.
airjordan223 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 yeah usually they get borla, flowmaster, or magnaflow. got my dad some magnaflow mufflers for his 57 chevy bel-air, sounds sooo tight. but on an import, it would sound like poo
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 However, some civic owners went with magnaflow and absolutely love them.
Ben. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 how is that possible if tanabe doesnt make them? was it just the tanabe muffler with custom piping? it was the muffler with custom piping. it LOOKED good..it's just it sounded like crap. came out under the bumper and angled up..
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 The way you worded that...I picture it looking stupid as hell.
90IntegraC1 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 well....if i were to boost i'd use an Edlebrock intake manifold. Edlebrock is usually muscle. pwned.
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Yea and edelbrock offers a line for imports. Tanabe does not. So there is no comparison.
Ben. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 well....if i were to boost i'd use an Edlebrock intake manifold. Edlebrock is usually muscle. pwned. Victor X i/m FTW. It does like the a'pexi n1 on the eg hatchbacks. Comes out and up at an angle. I guess I'd have to snap a pic of it so people could see.
coolcat467 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 never heard of victor x. Did you use one on the civ?
Ben. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I would've if I'd have kept it. TONS of H-T's boosted b-series populous gives it GREAT feedback.
Xeryon Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Never heard of BBK. I had a magnaflow muffler on my Probe and it sounded damn good. I have heard a few other people with them on their hondas and they generally sound pretty good. There are a lot more companies crossing over that were traditionally domestic only. The domestic muscle car (newer) is pretty much gone and those companies need to make some money somehow.
Pballer2005 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 magnaflow sounds good on my car. its their basic glasspacked universal oval muffler. i love it because it doesn't rattle or resonate inside the car but still sounds good when you floor it. i rode in my friends honda and he just has an open header and its cool for racing and showing off but do live with i hate it. shotty driver but thats about what mine sounds like
Blown330 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 BBK makes good parts. Have been using their throttle bodies and headers for years on my cars and truck and never had a problem with failure or fitment. The whole "they do more for domestic cars than imports so stay away" is an idiotic arguement. If the company makes the parts and have a reputation for good quality then it shouldn't matter what their principle market is made up of...
