I have the Bassani midlengths, the Bassani X, &amp; the Magnaflow cat-back. I had to remove the steering stem, &amp; the starter, but that was it on my '02.I had to cut 1 7/8in off the headers, but i was able to use the x-pipe. Had I went w/longtubes, I'd have probably had to cut a little more, but I am not sure how much. Short x's are definitely more convienant w/longtubes. And also,...I did all this on a lift, so as far as jack stands are concerned...I'd say...I hope you plan on beingunder you carall weekend. I'd rather pay the cash if I didn't have access to a lift, but that is just me.</P>

Thanks guys, what do you think of the BBK X that matches to the longtubes?</P>


Can I do the BBK X-pipe w/ the Magnaflows for now and add the longtubes later??? <FONT color=#800080>BBK Performance Parts: New Products</FONT></P>
