If I buy long tube headers and a x-pipe. What else do I need? A full cat-back?

you will need a set of 02 sensor extensions and mil eliminators. also, the catback isnt necessary. i have dumps on mine. you can do either

I would agree.. it'd be kind of half-assed to get LT's and the mandatory midpipe and then chump out on the cat-back. Plus, you're really going to maximize your gain by completing the set.

If you buy a long tube, you would also need a "shorty" mid-pipe due to the length of the longer length of the header vs. the stock manifold. the O2 sensor extension would be required also. The cat-back is not required, but while you're under there, you might as well get a new cat-back simply b/c the stock ones are just too quiet
