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.

Ford And Richard Petty Will Build 143 Limited-Edition 2015 Mustangs

Ford And Richard Petty Will Build 143 Limited-Edition 2015 Mustangs

BrothersPerformance.com just learned that in the coming months, Ford and Richard Petty Will Build 143 Limited-Edition 2015 Mustangs. Based off the popular SEMA project, Petty’s Garage is planning to build a series of limited-edition, 627-horsepower Mustang GTs that will feature exotic paint and appearance, along with supercharging and many custom touches. There will be 100 Stage 1 models and 43 Stage 2 versions.

“We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about our Petty’s Garage Mustang GT displayed at the SEMA show,” said Jeff Whaley, Petty’s Garage COO. “With so much interest, we began to explore the possibility of building a limited run of the Petty’s Garage Mustang GT.” In fact, Of the 43 Petty’s Garage Stage 2 Mustang GTs planned — only 42 remain — that’s because Rock ’n’ Roll legend Brian Johnson, lead singer for AC/DC, has an order in for the first car. “This Mustang has just taken my breath away,” said Johnson. “It really is one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. I didn’t have an American car, but I do now!”

Not just a pretty face, the Stage 1 Petty’s Garage Mustang GT will be customized with a unique front fascia incorporating driving lights and a blacked-out grille with black running horse. The rear fascia is also custom with a center-exit exhaust and NASCAR-style spoiler on the decklid. Further modification was done to the interior, including embroidered head restraints and floor mats, and Richard Petty’s rolling autograph on the dashboard.

To enhance the giddy-up, the team chose a Ford Racing/Roush supercharger, that’s fed with a cold-air intake. Engine calibration has also been tweaked, and you’ll hear the V8 rumble through the MagnaFlow exhaust, with the aforementioned center-mount exits. Powertrain modifications are covered by a Ford Racing/Roush Performance parts limited warranty; Petty’s Garage components and installation carry a 36-month, 36,000-mile warranty from Petty’s Garage.

Ford stated the Stage 1 Mustang GT can be ordered in any color, with all unique bodywork painted to match. Finishing the look are unique HRE FlowForm wheels and Continental tires.

If you’re looking for something extra special, the Stage 2 version is taken to the next level of performance with Petty’s Garage Wilwood big brakes, and a complete Petty’s Garage custom two-tone paint job. This version will roll on Petty’s Garage HRE three-piece forged- aluminum wheels.

Paint Perfection
Those 43 owners (including Brian Johnson) will stop traffic and win show awards with a very special two-tone paint job that is identical to Petty’s Garage 2014 SEMA show Mustang.

Not just the common Petty Blue, this modern version comes to life with crushed-and- tumbled glass combined with iconic Petty Blue paint. Actually, Petty’s Garage has created a one-of-a-kind color for the lower half of the car, which is set off by tri-coat pearlescent Ford Tuxedo Black. Petty fans will love that “The King’s” legendary No. 43 is expertly ghosted into the paint. It can be seen on the hood and C-pillars. Now that’s slick!

So how much will a special-edition Petty Mustang GT set you back? The Stage 1 Mustang is listed at a MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) of $62,210 — the Stage 2 model is priced higher at $92,210. According to Ford, either Mustang GT can be ordered at your local Ford dealership on a first-come, first-served basis.

1996 – 2004 BBK 4.6 Mustang Throttle Intake

1996 – 2004 BBK 4.6 Mustang Throttle Intake

Gain power with a 1996 – 2004 BBK 4.6 Mustang Throttle Intake, which starts around $250.00. One of the most unique components in the Mustang aftermarket is the BBK Performance Throttle Intake kit. This throttle/intake combo fuses the throttle body with the intake elbow to improve performance on 4.6 Two-Valve modular Ford V8 engines found on 1996 to 2004 Mustangs and other Ford vehicles. Click the videos for a closer look.

This is an awesome component since it allows you to replace the restrictive factory intake parts with an attractive, high-flow induction unit. BBK Performance offers the Throttle Intake in 73 mm and 78 mm versions and with either a Charcoal Titanium Powdercoat finish or a polished finished for a few more dollars. Each kit comes with all the gaskets and hardware for a quick and simple installation on your Ford Mustang modular engine. Best of all, you can expect between a 12-15 horsepower increase at the wheels.

Increase power and performance with a BBK Performance Throttle Intake

The 1996 – 2004 BBK 4.6 Mustang Throttle Intake increases the airflow to your intake manifold to increase low-rpm power for improved throttle response, as well as extra power in the upper rpm range. This equates to more fun around town and better performance on track. We recommend the 73 mm unit for mild mods, and the 78 mm unit for more serious combinations. This is a must-have item once you’ve added nitrous or forced induction.

In addition to great looks, BBK Performance assembles each Throttle Intake from strong 356 aluminum castings, which is then CNC-machined and fitted with high-quality mechanical parts such as die-stamped throttle linkages, double-sealed bearings and an O-ringed throttle shaft. Plus, all BBK throttle bodies are designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA. What you’ll notice is smooth throttle actuation and durability that meets or exceeds the original standards.

Increasing airflow to your engine is relatively easy way to increase horsepower and torque, and BBK offers many parts that allow you to find this power right in your driveway. For maximum flow, we recommend pairing your Throttle Intake with a Cold-Air Intake and exhaust headers with a high-flow exhaust. Additional mods common to 1996 – 2004 4.6 Mustangs are underdrive pulleys, a recalibrated factory computer using a hand-held flash tuner, and numerically higher rear end gear ratios.

1979-2004 Mustang Lowering Springs Eibach Pro Kit Installation

1979-2004 Mustang Lowering Springs Eibach Pro Kit Installation

Achieving a lowered stance with your Mustang hunkered down and ready for action is something most Mustang owners crave. Brothers Performance is glad make this easy for you with our latest 1979-2004 Mustang Lowering Springs Eibach Pro Kit Installation video. This kit sells for just over $220.00, and has been a popular choice for Mustang and Fox-body owners for decades. Our video details the important points of installing the Eibach (or any other lowering springs) kit on 1979 to 2004 Mustangs.

Lowering your Mustang offers many benefits, including tighter handling, better on-track performance, and much-improved looks. The factory “off-road” ride height of many stock Mustangs has been a point of contention with owners for a long time. Brothers Performance offers a variety of spring kits that are engineered for all facets of street and track performance. Plus, Brothers offers everything you’ll need to complete your suspension package, such as aftermarket struts and shocks, coil-ver kits, K-members, anti-roll bars and wheels and tires. Of course we also offer complete suspension systems from your favorite manufacturers.

And once you’ve improved handling, don’t forget to upgrade your braking system, too. What good is having extra speed if your stock brakes fade?

Eibach’s Pro Kit is an excellent choice for street and light-track performance. It will lower your Mustang by about 1.2 inches in the front and 1.0 inch in the rear as compared to the stock ride height. Dropping the body of the vehicle creates a lower center of gravity, which greatly improved cornering performance. This equates to quicker turn-in, better road feel and more overall grip. Note: this kit will not work with IRS-equipped SVT Cobra models.

And while this particular kit is not designed for IRS Cobras, the Eibach Pro Kit kit does work with your factory struts and shocks, and the progressive springs help maintain excellent ride quality, but with enough stiffness to provide a reduction in body roll for better handling.
