With it being a Stage 1 Roush, you won't want to run LTs. They'll sit low enough to be a major issue on a daily driver. Trust me, been there, done that. I even went as far as having one of a kind custom made long tubes made and have gone back to stock.
I don't know how you had an issue sir... I never had a problem with my long tubes and this is on rough TX streets. Long tubes are no more of an issue with a lowered car than anything else, if you drive like a maniac you'll crack the bumper and scrape the underside of the car.

Mine where too long and where the first thing to hit. Riding the highway with two people... a good dip would send sparks.

You probably live in a big city, small cities don't always have the best roads, I scrape mine over speed bumps all the time, and that's cuz I have c-springs, I couldn't imagine ebaich's and such.

Pacesetter uses slip on or weld on cats to to the midpipe or just midpipe and save a little bit of clearance because the lack the flange.

They DO have a set with an EGR bung, I didnt think they did but I found it earlier this week. So Pacesetter might be an option as far as LT's go.

Otherwise stick with MAC.

You can buy some stock ones from summit racing. They're dorman and should fit to OEM specs.
