BBK Shorties vs. L/Ts???
I just purchased BBk shorties for my 2003 GT and was wondering if i was wasting my time and money?? I have heard how much of a pain they are and don't won't to go to a whole lot of trouble for a little to no gain. I have heard that L/Ts are better for sound and HP gain? They are considerably more expensive and don't know that those will be a better choice for the money or not. Need advice?? I also bought an off-road x-pipe from PYPES. Was curious about HP gain and sound for that as well.

shorties really arent worth the hassle
what really is there to say for the midpipe...its a little less restrictive and louder...thats about all there is to say. 2v's do crap gains from boltons

the shorties won't do much for you, they will help a touch with sound though.
*Just a thought - why didn't you ask this question BEFORE you purchased the shorties?*
About the midpipe. I installed mine like a month ago, and it makes a world of difference in the sound. I'm very pleased with the fitment that comes with the pypes o/r midpipe. Mine was an X
