Default MAC LT's and a catted x-pipe?

I have a buddy thats looking into getting these headers from brenspeed but the only thing i see on their site that fits these headers is the prochamber. I've purchased through brenspeed before but when i asked about it the guy said you have to splice in cats to the prochamber. my friend doesn't really want to spend that much for the prochamber. Is there a normal x-pipe that will mate up for these headers (they look to be midlength) or is this prochamber route the only way?

You just need a mid-pipe that is made for LT's. For example, Brenspeed also has a BBK X with high flow cats for LT's ($399) or the prochamber (417).

So any x-pipe made for long tube headers will work with these headers? If thats true my friend will be very happy.

Awesome thanks they looked to be a weird length so both he and I were a little worried that you need a mac mid pipe to make them fit correctly. Thanks for the input PremiumSilver. How do you like your Eibach Pro-Kit? I've been looking into getting lowering springs for my car.

I think as long as you stay brand specific with long tube headers you will be OK, Mac headers with Mac X pipe, BBK headers with BBK x pipe, I doubt you can interchange these parts without causing a big headache. Only if you stay with shortie headers will you be able to mix up the midpipe.

I just put them on last weekend and I love it. They give the car a whole new look.

How was the install for the springs?

I talked to someone at brenspeed and he told me that you can call and place the header order and they have an x-pipe that will fit these headers and a CAT kit that you can splice in but it's not listed on their website.
