BBK problem

[UTGT]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ordered bbk lts and an offraod h. When i went to put on the h pipe it didn't line up right(and no its not upside down). The cup on the passenger side of the h fits perfect with the ball of the header but the drive side is cocked but it fits in the ball but is angled like the h pipe isn't wide enough. I also tried puttin on the driver sied first but i hade to push the pipe on the passenger using my foot while a buddy hooked it up. all it did was move the driver side and still leaked. Any suggestions?

I've had to put ratchet strip to both headers to pull them together before you can try that

they may require a different H pipe, might want to check with BBK to make sure.

yea, the bbk lts are made to use a bbk only x/h pipe. otherwise you have to custom fab the pipe you bought.

I know this because I have both.

the h pipe is bbk

[maximus]

yea but was it made to specifically fit the bbk lts? bcuz im pretty sure you cant use a regular bbk h-pipe and hook it up to the lts.

Yes it is the short h for lts. If it wasn't it would be way to long and be bent up towards the manifolds!

I know the 96-98 and the 99-04 flange is different i ran into this problem when i did the motor swap.Might check and see if that could be a problem.They might be a different width also

id just suggest getting in contact with either a cs person from BBK or a mechanic from a shop that does regular work on mustangs.

It's not a drop top is it? Read while looking for mine that alot of the parts I looked at said they wouldn't fit.

bbk is sending me a new h. i'll let you know how it goes!
