no TJ intended, would the BBK LTs with the recommended shorty X be a decent choice?

I know the price is apealing but you will understand if you get a set like i did
Brenspeed recommended pypes LTs to me, fitment was perfect.. 3 hours from start to finish.

Like others have said, Pypes is a roll of the dice. I also got burned on a catback for the 08. I had to take to an exhaust shop so they could heat the mufflers into place as the would NOT align properly. The money I saved, I spent correcting the issue. I've used BBK products on 3 other car & no issues. My 1990 in my sig also has BBK's. If I would do again, no pypes for me.

YES, get the gaskets! Good luck, again not flaming any brand, but the above is my personal experiance.

I have the bbk lts and o/r x....the ceramic coated ones! The quality is outstanding, great value, smooth install...except for one bolt on each side has to be shaved down a bit. They come with all the gaskets and hardware you need, all in all I think the total cost was about $750 with all my discounts and such
