Well, it depends on how much you want to spend. You can get better... but you will pay a hell of alot more.

BBK - good quality decent price.BBK ceramic 380$
Hooker - unsurpassed quality high price. super comps 700$

Both will last forever if u go ceramic so its really up to you do you want the best there is or do you just want something that will do the job?

Unless you get stainless steel (JBA, Bassani), you really should consider paying extra for the ceramic. It will keep your engine bay temps down and deter rust/corrosion.

I have a set of Mac long tubes and O/R H-pipe.They fit fine, BUT do hang a little low. Other wise, they went in smooth.

^^ Posted a few posts above was the first bad thing I have ever heard about BBK LT's.
I never had a problem with there shorties in the past. I gotthe bbk ltswiththe shorten converterpipe.Which fits nice. The off road pipe not even close.Beening that they are the ones bbk says to use on there longtube... they would fit...wrong.

BBK ceramic long tubes and O/R H pipe. Fits great, looks great, sounds awesome, hangs a little low (especially with a 1.5 drop) but its the best deal $ and quality IMO. I have no inteference issues but they do overheat the starter. Wrap seemsto be inadequate by itself. I am going to try the mini high-torquer+ 1ga cableswith some wrap come spring.

I got mine from Jegs. I usually dont order from Jegs but someone offered me anything I wanted from there with a total of $180 in exchange for my injectors. So I got the h pipe! I have a feeling I might be switching to an LM2 setup in the future though... I think mine is going to be too loud.
