Default BBK Longtubes- midpipe questions

Over the holiday I got a set of BBK ceramic long tubes. I was curious on what midpipe i should buy. Will a MAC prochamber fit these headers? Anybody have sounds clips of different mid pipes with these headers?
Thanks

To ensure the best possible fitment you should run a matching bbk shorty x or h. I've ran both with my bbk long tubes, and they bolt right up...no problems. I can swap them out in 20 minutes or less.

Go ahead and install a good clutch in the car as well. That way you won't be removing on side of the BBK's to remove the trans once they're installed.

or you could just shorten up your existing x pipe to make it work and save some $$$

Hey man check out this video, I have a comparison in sound between the BBK O/R H and Mac Prochamber...

and the awnser to your question is yes, both will fit fine. I have a Mac Prochamber on my car now w/ my LT headers and I had a BBK O/R H before that.

FYI the exhaust is w/ cams... but you get the general idea of the difference.
