They won't fit your regular xpipe. You need a "shorty" xpipe made for long tubes or you need to modify the one you have.

Long Tubes should have a mid pipe designed specifically for them. Try to find one of those. Hooker super-comps are a good bet. You won't have to remove the header to change the clutch and they're good for 20-30hp. You pay for the quality though.
