Default Longtubes Will my car bottom out? BBK DR GAS FLOWS????

1-Now going down my driveway with x pipe it bottoms out some!! Will lt's be lower?

2- My car is not a track car nor any type of show car. Just my DD and fun car. Which mid pipe and LT's would suit me? Spend 500 on bbk or get something cheaper!! I am looking for performance!

3- I will be installing at home any major tips!!!!!

Thanks my final LT post


Update.. I think i am going with BBK LT'S, DR GAS X PIPE AND THE FLOWMASTER 40's.... Does anyone have that on a sound clip?

Chrome or ceramic headers?????? Does it really matter

Might as well get BBK's, good price for the gains. Kooks are the best but of course have the worst price. Mac makes a good LT but they look almost identical to BBK's. I'm doing my LT's from the bottom up when I replace my K-member.

My slp's really dont hang any lower than the cats on my catted x pipe. As long as youre careful/drive slow theyre really not a problem.

My BBK's brought up my exhaust some from just running O/R h pipe. As far as advise on installing you have to unbolt the engine mounts and jack up the engine to get the lt's in. driver side is a real pain in the @$$

I found a cheap set of macs and mac x pipe.... how will that sound with flowmaster 40s........ i assume they will all be almost the same sounding!

I've been told LT's make FLows sound raspy and hallow. I have flows, we'll sometime this winter! lol

made a huge difference in the sound from stock mainfolds. I was very impressed with the sound. Almost like a totally different car.
