BBK H pipe problems

**mustang50lx** · 05-11-2008, 01:23 AM

I put on my BBK H-pipe today and had some problems. The left side pipe was hitting the crossmember. It also seems a little short mainly on the left pipe. I had to pull the exhaust way forward to connect it. I just bent it away from the crossmember. I guess I will have to section a small piece of pipe in to move the exhaust back. Has anyone else had these problems with aftermarket H pipes?

Ive seen it with cheaper exhaust parts but usaully bbk makes decent stuff.

Are the engine mounts flush and square on the k-member mounting pads? Has the car ever been tweaked before? e.g., collision.

I think SN's use a different style hanger on the back of the transmission. I looked at pictures of new ones before I tried to put it on. Can anyone say if I am correct about the hangers. I don't think the guy lied to me when I bought it. I asked him what it was off of and he said Fox. Sure sounds similar though.

I know a ton of problems with the BBK stuff, including myself.

I bought it at Canfield. It looks like new. The guy I bought it from said it was on the car for a month. He probably took it off cause it fit like crap. $120.00 for a nearly new catted H-pipe seemed like a good deal. Guess not though-story of my life. I'll never learn.
