Default Bassani Mid-length or BBK longtube headers?

I wanna purchase the BBK longtubes and the BBK X-pipe but I already have a Bassani x-pipe installed to my stock manifolds. I'm not sure, but with the Bassani mid-length headers I think I can keep my full length x-pipe. Does anybody have any knowledge with this situation? Shorty headers are a waste in my opinion....

you will either have to cut the x pipe or buy a new bassani mid x-pipe.

Get the LT's. I would never get anything less than LT's. The installation is a bit worse but it is definantly worth it in the end.

The Bassani x-pipe is a 5 piece kit, i believe i get rid of the two pieces forward of the cats(actually i have the race tubes intalled right now but that's illegel) and the mid-lengths bolt right up. I know LT's give more power over shorties, but not sure about the mid-lenths, of course they "CLAIM" it adds 25 to 30 on the Bassani mid-lengths.

How much are the Bassani mid lengthsa gonna cost? I got my LT's ceramic coated and an o/r h pipe for $640 shipped, I thought the Bassani midlengths were like $600. If that is the case ou could get the LT srtup and sellt eh mid pipe you have right now and still get more HP out of the LT's and spend less money than the mid lengths would cost.

Yeah the Bassani's are like $665, it would be the same if not cheaper to get the BBK and off road mid pipe. I'm just trying to keep the X-pipe and with the Bassani midlengths coming in 4 pices and my x-pipe with cats coming in 5 pieces, I'm thinking, mix-and-match. But i think i'm leaning towards the BBK setup now.
