BBKTECH was kind enough to share some pics of the longtube headers for the v6 that will ship May 14.

I have some friends over at BBK and Brothers Performance, I will talk to them about some pricing on these. It's always cheaper as a group buy, so I will ask about that as well.

i cant believe more people arent interested in this?? most affordable long tubes available and bbk is a good company. guess i will have to post videos of mine. someone else will have to dyno though to show gains.

KMPrenger · 05-10-2010, 11:13 PM

Theres interest. Heck, I'm not even planning on doing long tubes any time in the near future and I'm interested lol. Get em installed, get video, and get a good before/after dyno and we'll all be very interested!

I was interested, but they took too long, way too many postponements, I am still not sure if they are being shipped soon and I just preferred ARH's product more.

Also.....the headers on BBK are smaller @ 1 5/8 compared to ARH system 1 3/4.

Blade · 05-10-2010, 11:35 PM

One thing I am curious about is the design of these headers compared to ARH. These come straight out from the engine and do a sharp turn right before the CATs. Whereas the ARH have a more smoother design where the pipes flow out of the engine and smoothly curve into a straight-er flow before hitting the CATs. Does all that make a difference in power gains? Who knows? But sound wise I am dead sure there would be a noticeably difference compared to the ARH headers.

Once I get a dyno done, I will be able to tell what I gained. As for BBK, its only their word so far.

I think it may also be that long tube headers are illegal in most states.

I totally agree, I'm thinking the diffrence in pipe diameter alone should noticeably effect the sound. Can't wait for some new youtube V6 exhaust vids!

bmwdon · 05-11-2010, 12:10 PM

damn...can't wait

Mark@PSR · 05-12-2010, 12:31 PM

My contact was out of the office until today, so I just sent him an Email for current avail. and pricing. I will let you guys know what I hear back.

I totally agree about the wait! We've been waiting since last November for christ sake!

Thing about the smaller diameter is they should make more torque....
