you will probably spend just as much money getting your shorty pipe adapted, than if you just bought a new LT pipe, and sold your shorty

an H pipe is basically like straight pipes in the shape of an H. An X pipe crosses like an X and a pro chamber is like an X pipe with a Box in the middle. Ive heard the pro chamber is the best setup so i bought one

well from the looks of it the bbk is an xpipe prochamber all in one so im going to go with that and the bbk long tube headers do you think that would be a pretty good set up

I think so.. BBK makes good quality parts. I think its a good idea just make sure you shop for the best pricing.. When i got my long tubes and pro chamber i looked for a solid week for the best deal. Dealers are hungry for the business.. Make them get creative with their pricing.

Good luck with your build.
