RE: getting long tubes
one thing i read recently, some guy reused his seals from the stock exhaust. MAKE SURE you use NEW gaskets to where the headers come to the exhaust. Make sure all the old material is off of you might get a leak.

RE: getting long tubes
I have Mac LT's and i'm very satisfied. No complaints here. Be aware that with some of those headers, you're paying for the name. Mac & BBK will perform just as well as the $$$$$$ ones
