BBK Varitune Mufflers Make The Perfect Sound

BBK Varitune Mufflers Make The Perfect Sound

Have you ever wondered what it takes to get the perfect sound from your exhaust system? I mean a sound that’s dialed into your liking. Different engines create different levels of exhaust flow, so it’s important to get exhaust parts that fit your needs. There is so much that can affect the music coming from your tail pipes — and we’re not just talking about the volume of your exhaust. Power adders, increased compression, big cams, headers, X- and H-pipes, mufflers and tail pipes all play a role in the symphony of sound. But only one muffler puts the sound tuning in your hands — and that’s BBK’s Varitune Muffler. Varitune mufflers and Axle-Back kits feature the patented Adjustable Power Valve that gives you the ability to tune your exhaust! So read on and see how BBK Varitune Mufflers make the perfect sound.

The Adjustable Power Valve, developed and patented by BBK Performance, lets you change from having a mild three-chamber muffler to a rowdy single-chamber muffler in a matter of minutes. These mufflers are built with an internal cone that is adjusted in or out to direct exhaust flow through the muffler. And since you control the position of the cone, you manipulate sound and power.

It’s all done with the turn of a screw, located on the exterior of the muffler. Changes are made by simply loosening the locking nut and then running the adjuster in or out. With this set-up you can quickly and easily dial in the sound of your exhaust with the turn of a screw and we offer kits for the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, plus trucks and a variety of other vehicles. You can even alter or off-set the Power Valves to remove any resonance or drone. This is important when you change rear gears or transmission ratios.

BBK Varitune Mufflers are available in a variety of sizes so there’s a combination for virtually any American performance car, including Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Chevrolet Camaro, and Corvette to name a few. Of course, you can retro-fit your Varitune mufflers to basically any vehicle, including early muscle cars. It’s important to note that all BBK Varitune mufflers and Varitune Axle-Back kits are American designed and American built from high-quality materials so they’re designed to sound great and last a long time.

To fit your budget, Varitune mufflers are available in aluminized or stainless steel in 2.5-, 2.75-, and 3.0-inch diameters, and are offered in various offsets to fit most aftermarket and OEM applications, including cars and trucks. Currently, Varitune mufflers do not fit the 1999-2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, and with many options for fitment, be sure to research and select the correct diameter and offset for your specific application.

1996 – 2004 Ford Mustang BBK 73mm Throttle Intake Test

1996 – 2004 Ford Mustang BBK 73mm Throttle Intake Test

Mustang enthusiasts are always on the hunt for horsepower and BrothersPerformance.com is your one-stop source for all your performance needs. To show you some of the great parts we offer, our team recently did a 1996 – 2004 Ford Mustang BBK 73mm Throttle Intake test on a 2003 Mustang GT.

BBK’s 73mm Throttle Intake (Part Number 17801), sells for right around $250.00 and combines a 73mm Throttle Body with a high-flow Upper Intake Plenum into one sweet-looking unit that is easy to install and will outflow the stock throttle body and upper plenum on any 1996 to 2004 Mustang with the 4.6 liter V8 engine. It’s common to see as much as 12 to 15 horsepower gained at the wheels, but we wanted to see it with our own eyes.

This is the large 78mm BBK Throttle Intake

The BBK Performance Mustang Throttle Intake is designed and manufactured here in the USA and will create quicker throttle response and better acceleration. All BBK Performance Power Plus throttle bodies are CNC-machined from high-quality 356 aluminum castings to ensure perfect OEM quality and fit every time. They feature die-stamped throttle linkages, double sealed bearings, and O-ringed throttle shafts.

This throttle body is also a direct replacement, and the kit includes all the necessary gaskets and instructions for a quick and easy installation. This is one of those simple installs designed for the do-it-yourselfer. All it takes is about 30 minutes of your time and basic hand tools. We especially like the show-quality Charcoal Titanium powdercoated finish.

Not only is the 73mm throttle bore larger than stock, but the inlet elbow features smoothed internal radius on the short and large turn, plus volume is increased. This equals improved volume and better overall airflow into the engine. BBK Performance also offers a larger 78mm version, designed to work great with nitrous oxide or forced induction.

Be sure to check out the video with before-and-after dyno test and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel. You can also follow Brothers Performance on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Affordable 1979 - 2004 Ford Mustang Control Arm Upgrade

Affordable 1979 - 2004 Ford Mustang Control Arm Upgrade

http://youtu.be/o58Vf8HP1Z8

Late-model Ford Mustangs are popular with enthusiasts thanks to great looks, real-world performance, and an amazing heritage. Ford provided the platform for excellent horsepower and handling, but owners often take their ponies far beyond stock. While everyone wants to dive under the hood and add horsepower, one modification every owner should consider is our Affordable 1979 – 2004 Ford Mustang Control Arm Upgrade.

Aftermarket control arms (also called trailing arms) are one of the many affordable parts that will make a real difference in the way your Mustang handles, brakes, and launches. Brothers Performance offers a variety of aftermarket control arms, including the BBK Performance Gripp arms that are affordable (priced under $300) for the upper and lower arms.

The stock rear arms are made from stamped steel and fitted with rubber bushings. As you can imagine, the stock arms are not designed for big horsepower or aggressive driving, so they can twist under hard loading. But the larger problem is the rubber bushings that deflect under hard loading and degrade over time. It’s not uncommon to see cracked and ruined bushings in high-mileage Mustangs.

1979 - 2004 BBK Performance Gripp Control Arms

With this, the stock arms are far from optimum, especially if you’re looking for hard launches or precise handling. Even worse, old, stock arms can make your car uncomfortable at speed or under heavy braking. When the rubber bushings deflect, the rear axle housing is no longer controlled and it can move out of alignment. This throws off your handling feel and can result in unpredictable performance.

BBK Performance Gripp arms solve the problem. They are formed from boxed steel that is far stronger than the stock stamped steel design and feature sturdy polyurethane bushings designed for street and track performance. Furthermore, the arms feature Zerk fittings so you can easily grease the bushings. This keeps the arms moving smoothly and also keeps them quiet. The arms are robotically welded and then powdercoated, so that great appearance will last a long, long time.

You can purchase the Affordable 1979 - 2004 Ford Mustang Control Arm Upgrade separately (just the uppers or just the lowers) at Brothers Performance, or in kit form, including all four arms. This kit fits all 1979 – 2004 Mustangs (with the exception of 1999 – 2004 SVT Cobras).

Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman

According to a study by SplashData, “Mustang” ranks as the 16th most common password on the Internet in 2014. This makes Mustang One Of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman and many other commonly used passwords. Superman placed 21^st, Batman was close behind in 24^th, according to a recent study. SplshData specializes in password management on the Internet.

Interestingly, Ford Mustang is the only car to crack the top 25 most common Internet passwords — but does that really surprise you? Chalk this up as another win for America’s most iconic pony car.

“We’re flattered people want to use ‘mustang’ as their password, but alone, it just isn’t strong enough to be secure,” said Keith Moss, Ford Director of Cyber Security. “We encourage people to use ‘mustang,’ but we recommend they strengthen their password by mixing upper and lower case letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to make it unique.”

Adding letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to your favorite pony car-inspired code for sign-in will help strengthen your password. Making Mustang one of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman, is a major credit to Ford Motor Company, and the Mustang as an honest staple of pop culture. Enthusiasts speak of the Mustang as so much more than just a car. Mustang brings people together, but the growth will continue as the Mustang goes global this year.

According to Ford, here are a few suggestions for strengthening your “mustang” password: Add numbers to make it your own secret code (this may be your favorite Mustang model year, year you bought your Mustang, or year you sold the car). Incorporate Mustang option codes, paint codes, engine codes, or digits from your VIN. Create acronyms for modifications made to your Mustang (BBKStang, JMStang, EcoStang, etc.). Or you could include your favorite driving road, or race track.

Of course, using the same password on all websites is never a good idea. Ford recommends using a password manager to help keep your Mustang-related passwords organized and easy-to-access. This allows you to keep things “Mustang-themed” but secure at the same time.
