This is everything.

Sure, this is easy.


Starting at the rear of the car, from a stock configuration:

1) Axle-back (Also called mufflers)

2) Over-axle tubes.

3) H-pipe (Stock is catted, this is also called a "midpipe")

4) Manifolds


This is the tricky stuff:

A "catback" system is simply axlebacks plus overaxle tubes combined into one "package".

Shorty headers are a direct replacement for the OEM manifolds, and they fit onto the OEM H-pipe.

Longtube headers replace the manifolds, but due to their shape they will no longer fit the stock H-pipe. So, if you get longtubes then you also are forced to change your H-pipe to a "header version". Also, all brands of longtubes are different, so you have to either do custom fab, or buy a matching midpipe. (For example, if you buy Kooks longtubes, then you need to buy a Kooks midpipe).

Thanks a bunch Al! Thats EXACTLY how I needed it spelled out. That will help me alot as I struggle with desiding on these pipe add ons to my Mac ab's.

Quick thought. When changing the mid pipe do I have to change the Over-axle tubes?

No. The "mid pipe", x or H, will fit right to the factory over axle section. As Al said, if you go lL/T headers, get a complete setup such as the Kooks he mentioned or the Dynatech setup, which is 100% complete.

Cool, thanks MusicCity. FYI- I gotta post some updated pics of my mods, just as soon as I get another camera. Thanks for your help over the past few weeks. You should like the new look!
