Totally diff sound all together. LT's are just bad ***! PIA to install, but well worth it. Just remember you'll have to buy new midpipe to match the LT's as shorties utilize the same as stock
+1, no one seemed to mention this to you.

And actually..it doenst hang quite so low anymore. Somehow the shop that put my headers on was able to reposition everything so that it gave me an extra 3/4-1" clearance. Not much..but it helps.

thanks man, that settles it=P slp lt's are gonna be put on, only thing I dont like is how low the xpipe hangs, but if its gonna still be the lowest point I'll be able to slap the lt's on there with no clearance issued=P
