Default Mac Headers

So I have a bassani x pipe that comes with high flow pipes and racing straight pipes. Before the racing straight pipes there is a downpipe that leads to the swappable part of the exhaust (high flows or straight pipe). Will long tube headers fit directly up to the swappable part of the exhaust (if it did i am assuming that would mean there is a certain point that everyone is following for match up purposes). If not, then a muffler shop will have no problem fabricating right?

mid pipes are made for shorty's or LT's. if they fit up to stock exhaust manifolds, then shorty's would fit and LT's would not. hope that answers the question, but a pic would help, not quite sure what part of the exhaust you're talking about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^Agreed.

You have shorty style headers that will fit the stock exhaust and X,H, etc
Then you have long tubes that will require a different midpipe(due to thelongerlegnth)

also headers will go great with a throttle body, correct? They compliment one another? For instance the throttle body will only allow more air in if it can get the air out and vice versa?

forget the throttle body, get CAI instead. not much improvement w/ the throttle body.

yes. I have the MAC ceramic coated stainless longtubes, and the bassani stainlesscatted x, and it fits like a dream.
