Default Exhaust choice, help!

After listen to the opinions of my last thread, I started to hear the diference between H-pipe and X-pipe and finally I prefer the deeper sound of the H-pipe but in the online shop where I buy I found only a BBK Catted Shorty H-Pipe (American muscle) the price is not bad but it needs long tube headers and that's what I need your opinion.

Which headers has the 97 gt in stock?

Someone could recomend me a better one?

Thank you!

stock manifolds are shortys. You would need to purchase longtubes, and have them installed.

I would like to find a long tube to fit it with my stock headers, could someone recomend me one? (with catalytics converter) I only find models that fits in 94-95 Gt but not for the 97 model!

You saying you want a catted H-pipe that fits with the factory headers? Might as well switch to the LTs and get the horse power gain.

LTs are long tube headers, the shorty h pipe you are looking at is for cars that have long tube headers, you have stock short tube manifolds which require a full length h pipe.

If you car is stock, don't buy the LT's. Get some gears and a tune and buy a full length h-pipe.
