Default Long Tube Recommendations?

Yep I'm looking into long tubes, but damn the ones I was looking at are friggin expensive. Here are some choices for you all to check. And yes I know I'll have to get a new mid pipe, so that'll be another poll.

Clearance means nothing to me. I have air ride, quality is a plus, since I want them to last for awhile, FLOW is the most important to me. As far as easiest to work on, I think all LT's you have to pull to get to the transission(clutch) I already re-checked my clutch spec, lol get it SPEC, that's what I've got, to see if the torque rating is sufficient before I messed with long tubes.

i say slp or bassani. if you get slp your gonna have to get a slp x pipe, if you get bassani ur gonna have to get a bassani midpipe. but i think they are top quality. i dont think bassani makes longtubes, just mid lengths. so my vote is on slp.

WAIT JUST 2 SECONDS HERE BUD. This is comming from the same man who spent 20 grand on his car? On all kinds of crasy air ride suspension, paint jobs, and a forged motor. But u dont wanna dish out 500 bucks for LT's that will cetinally gain u a lot of power.

Anyway i volted BBK but get the cermaic coated ones. If you go with the regualar ones they will turn blue and look like crap. And if ur putting these in ur drive way i would seariously just suggest paying what ever it costs to have a shop put em in.

+1. I say SLP for you because I know you don't mind spending the money on your car. I personally plan on getting MAC's with a shortie pro-chamber.

What mid pipe do you have now? Stock?
Maybe you don't need a new mid pipe. I heard BBK LT's bolt onto the stock pipe.
Even if they don't, I'm sure a shop can custom fit whatever LT's you get onto the mid pipe.
Cut..bend...weld a flange on the end..etc...
