Question: If I have a Magnaflow catted X and Cat-back installed and want to install long tubes myself, is this a hard thing to do? Do they bolt on? No welding?</P>


If I have a jack and jack stands is that good enough?</P>


What kind of tools do I need?</P>


Thanks alot</P>

I hate to tell ya but they won't fit your Magnaflow catted X pipe.You'd need the short Magnaflow X pipe and I don't know if that comescatted or not. </P>

How about mid-length headers? Will they go with the X-pipe? or do I need shorties?</P>

Why not go to an wxhaust shop and see if they can install the headers, then cut/weld the x pipe to fit?

That's true, I was just seeing if it was something I could do myself. If I have the shop that is putting my exhaust on do it, am I getting the right X-pipe? What should I get(headers) for the best performance gains if I get the Magnaflow catted X?</P>

Got it, I can do the BBK full length headers and they just started making a matching X-pipe. finish them off with Magnaflow cat-backs. How about that?</P>
