BBK headers are garbage, had to replace mine, I'd just go with flowtech if thats what the rest of the systems going to be.

Why not just buy a matching mid pipe with the longtubes. By the way you have to add the mid pipe at the same time as the longtubes.

From what I hear Flowtech fitment is garbage. I have mac on my car and have installed mac longtubes on 4 other cars and never had a problem with them.

You have to use a mid pipe made specifically for the header. BBK Headers need BBK corresponding mid pipe. Every set of LT's are designed and sit differently.

I don't have much input on Pypes, don't have LT's myself...thinking about it, but yes, if you go with their headers, you will need their mid pipe.
