As long as they're the coated ones, they're good... Actually installed a set on my buddies 03, ah what fun that was...

First off let me tell ya I dig your ride. The LTs will give you a nicer sound, for sure. It is a deeper, fuller grunt that all cars should have, but only a choice few actually do. Expect to spend a decent chunk of time installing them... having a skinny friend will help alot.

+1...I have the uncoated ones and they are rusting like mad. However, the gains and the sound you get are awsome

I had BBK longtubes on my last mach 1 and was generally satisfied...but make sure you check a few things though. BBK is very sloppy with their welds- especially around the exhaust port collector area- if there is any weld spots / weld splatter around the collectors- take a dremel / grinder and smooth the ports out and then clean then up...the last thing you want is for a dob of weld splatter to break off at 6k rpm and get sucked into you're EGR...then you have a ruined motor. just a little heads up.
