I really hate posting these, but the search feature on this site sucks my left nut. SO, I'll have to ask it here. I have the opportunity to buy some MAC long tube headers and a BBK off road h-pipe. How will those two sound together with a stock catback? Will they sound deep or raspy? (a link to a clip would be great) Also, my emitions probably won't pass inspection, so if I keep my stock h-pipe, can I put it back on after the long tubes are installed?

Thanks in advance and sorry again for having to ask about yet another exhaust system.

I dont know how it would sound, but after you do it, I would like to hear a clip. Anyway your stock h pipe will not fit with long tubes, so you will never be able to put it back on. and yes I agree, the search feature does blow

Why would you want to run LTs and an O/R midpipe with stock mufflers? I can't imagine it sounding very good at all. The stock mufflers are pretty restrictive and ****ty sounding. Since a lot (if not most) of the tone of your exhaust comes from the mufflers, I wouldn't imagine it would sound very good at all. Most people start with cat-back and then work forward, so I wouldn't expect to hear too many clips.

The reason I need to do that is because I have to replace my headers. The shop I take my car to broke my header bolt and now there's a gap between the header and the mid pipe. And since I'm replacint the header, why not upgrade to long tubes? And if I do that, I can't use the stock pipe. That's why I'm doing it backwards. I just want to know that if those two pieces will sound good with the SLP LMII cat back system. That's all.

And wwmost,thanks for the clip. I'm at work, so I can't see it right now. But I'll check it when I get home.

if you get long tubes you also need to get a shorty mid-pipe cuz the LT come way further back then the manifolds (hence LT) so you need to get a shorter mid pipe to work with the long tubes and the cat back.

this is actually what i want to do but i want to throw electric cutouts on mine that way i can pass inspection and still run open heads down the street... talk about an alarm at 1 in the morning haha
