Default Modifying x-pipe w/ long tubes?

I'm hopefully purchasing a Borla Stinger exhaust tomorrow, which would leave me with only headers left for the exhast to replace. If i go long tubes, is there a way for me to modify my bassani x to work with the long tubes or would it be best for me to buy a new shorty x? Thanks!

id say just get the bassani headers because then you'll have the EXACT same setup i will have. here's the video of it

but if your not going with that you could take out the the cats and put the downtubes from the headers striaght into the x pipe section.

Do bassani headers have the same output as lt's? Also, did you go with the ss or bx? I live in VA so i think i would be safe with the bx, but also love having that little thing called LIFETIME behind it....

I'm at work right now, but i'll get some on tonight. Our cars are identical! I don't have the decals on the side or the emblems in the bumper, but same wheels and just a mach 460 stereo. I lowered mine and love the stance but the bassani x's cats bottom out lots. If there is more than me in the car i can't go over much. I used steeda comp springs.

is the mach 1 yours too? cuz the exhaust on that mach 1 will sound very different than that of the exhaust on a gt cuz that mach had a s/c and all mach's have DOHC which produces a different exhaust note as well
