Default EXHAUST QUESTION

So I was browsing around summit's website earlier and kinda realized something. I am probably going to go with long tubes with a catted h pipe (emission testing is awesome) and realized that the ball and socket fitting on the h pipe does not match up with the collector flange of the header. I am assuming there needs to be some sort of header flange reducer, but summit didnt have any with the right joint for the h pipe. Is there anyone who offers this, is it included with the headers?

You sure longtubes are legal in your area? I hear they are illegal in some places....

Well as far as I know, the long tubes are legal in my area, Ive had a couple buddies runnin them as well as getting emissions tested and their fine, Im still going to run O2 sensors, so I should be ok. The headers I was looking at were Flow Techs, ceramic coated goin for about $382. Thought that was a decent price but the pic shows a unversal collector...

Never heard of those before. Just to give you a heads up, thats LESS than half the cost of a good set of l/t. You get what you pay for, but I hope they work out. U sure they are long tubes?

OK fellas, well the reason why I was askin is cause I live like 20 mins away from summit, so it would save on shipping. I go to school right now (WyoTech) so I have no money, but I'll take your guys advice and just save my money and get a good set that fits, probally like BBk or something. Sometimes its not worth saving maney and gaining headaches. Thanks guys
