For the money i paid for my BBK long tubes and shorty h, i'm very happy. It's been on for a couple of years now with no leaks or other issues.
BTW, where in MI are you at? My 04 gt looks almost identical to the sixer in your signature.

Love my macs. I got the set (lts and catted h) for $400 off craigs brand new in the box. Absolutely no issues and if you need to do any clutch/tranny work you dont have to loosen them at all to get the tranny out.

I also have the Macs LT's and O/R H. Install was a bitch (as are any LT's) but IMO they were worth it, sounds great even with stock catback. I had small exhaust leak between the h cross over point. I ended up welding it together and it was fine. Also a good idea to completely seal the mid pipe is to put a small ring of high temp silicone around the socket ends of the ball and socket connections. This insures a great seal for the use of widebands and what not.

Ameican Racing headers are probably the best headers you can buy, but they are expensive. They are 1 piece design so no leaks, just make sure you get the best header gaskets lol, thats where I messed up...
