sweger is your car lowered. I have the pypes x pipe with lm1's but I only scrape out of my garage and in some instances around the city and my car is drastically dropped so you might want to think about haveing them try to tuck them up a bit higher if their really bad and your your not even lowered.

Sorry let me rephrase that here in the lovely state of MA there new machines can detect if the rear O2 sensors are shut off. I shut mine off with my diablo. MIL eliminators work because they send a false signal however my predator just shuts them off and tells the ecu everything is ok, but from people who live here I have been told that it will detect if it has been shut off.

How So? I have to go for inspection and all my stangs have have passed with a o/r pipe and mil's.
MILs work fine the predator just shuts them off. Again this is what has been told to me, they wont fail you but they wont pass you either it will just come up as the rear O2 sensors are not working or are off. I was considering MIL's but I said **** it and just got some hi flows.

This applies in MA as far as I know, sorry for not clearing that up.

the only slp long tubes i know of are expensive, and i know they bolt riht up. i was wondering is anyone has added on the long tubes after having similar experience with a low hanging slp x-pipe? from what i can tell, the long tubes replace the forward most piece of the slp x-pipe, which is the piece that cause the system to hang low. i am wondering if that pulls the entire system up, or if they force it to hang just as low. sorry if i am not making sense

They are expensive but they do make a great product. There the only header company that I know of that are stainless steel + ceramic coating. You get the best of both worlds. I would think it would pull the system up some, but then again you gotta find out how well the collector tucks up or if it hangs low.
