you need a shorty x pipe for long tubes, or longerer (full length) x pipe for shorty headers

Yea...you will need a mid pipe designed for longtubes. Don't worry, they are much cheaper.

For the cost and fitment problems you might face its not worth it. Check on corral hell you can get a used shorty x for like 75. I paid 120 shipped or something for a catted shorty H.

A shop should be able to make the midpipe you have work for no more than $50. If it doesnt fit right you can just take it back and tell them they didnt do it right and they should fix it. That's the road I would take if your looking to save a little money.
