Is it worth it?
For some reason i cannot log into my normal user name. forgot password
I am considering getting LT'S BBK or HOOKER which ones?
I currently have c springs with no ISO's and cut half coil front and back. Will the LT'S drag? I have put a current picture up with aftermarket exhaust see how low the X pipe is.... will LT'S hang further? Should i get new springs first? If so which ones? It's a pretty bumpy ride~
Next i have CAI, 75MM tb/plenum, tuner, x pipe flowmasters, pullies, gears.... will LT'S make a difference worth it? I will run around $950 total!!! with new mid pipe and install

When I went from off-road x and mac exhaust to pypes LT's and H-pipe I didnt really notice that big of a difference, Its getting tuned within the next month though so hopefully I finally notice somewhat of a difference from all the bolt-ons Ive done because to me not a single one of them has seemed worth it.

i have mac ceramic headers, good quality and fit. in your price range also. after the install i noticed some low end tq and it pulled harder up top in 3rd gear. i am hopefully getting it dyno tuned here in a week or two.
judging from that pic, you will most likey scrape some part of the exhaust if going over speedbumps or steep driveways or whatever.

I went from a MRT catted h to BBK long tubes and catted shorty h pipe, and i could tell a difference.
I know some people bash BBK's and Mac's, but i think they're both great for the money.
N/A i only picked up 6 rwhp & 6 rwtq, but i picked up through the entire powerband. The car just feels a little more snappy on the low end, and revs a little better on the high end.
On nitrous i picked up 33 rwhp & 73 rwtq. So long tubes really show their capability once you start adding big power.
BTW you will love the sound from long tubes...it's hard to describe...it just sounds more like a real muscle car.
