Default Longtubes

If i got the pacesetter longtubes for 220, and i wanted a divorced duals setup, how much should this cost?

also is this a good idea? right now my plans are catback divorced, but i want longtubes down the road, shouldn't i just do it all now?

i did the catback first then later went on and did the long tubes.

IMO if i did it over again then I would have started off by getting long tubes and what not.

With the Pacesetters you have to weld in a bung for the egr IIRC

When the pacesetters first came out some people got them and the only problem I heard was that they had not flange and were weld on. Other than that nothing. I wouldn't go lt's and a divorced set up tho. I would throw an H pipe in there so it isn't too raspy

If its the 01-04 Pacesetter you wont need to, it already has the bung.

For the lack of the flange, just go slip on.
