NO longtubes are going to work with your current mid-pipe. You can, however, get your current mid-pipe cut down by a good exhaust shop. That or buy a new mid-pipe to fit the LT's & sell your current mid-pipe

ya dude. U'll need new mid pipe. If your going with Mac, be certain to pay extra for ceramic coated LT's. You'll be grad you did when you hear other people complain about how quick normal Mac LT rust up....
Oh and mac LT and Prochamber ......

VRS makes true X-pipes for either BBK or Mac LT headers. you can get an aluminized steel o/r VRS X for $160, or a stainless steel one for $220.
just another option

you could do it, but then its gonna be a real PITA if you ever need to do work that requires removing the LT's or mid-pipe. for example, a clutch change or tranny drop. unless you just plan on cutting it again.Mustanggt108 said:Damn it. well could i cut my current x pipe a bit and weld the mac L/T's to the x pipe? will that work
I wouldnt do it. I'd buy the VRS X for Mac LT's, only $160 and sell your Mustangtuning X.

re-read my last post
you'll need to buy some ball & socket joints & have them welded onto the cutdown x-pipe & then you're ready to go

5th graders > me. They're not bant
LT's are much longer than your current manifolds, therefore you need a shorter midpipe no matter what LT's you get.

You do know what LTs look like right? How on earth did you expect them to work when your current X goes all the way up to the manifolds? I would go with ceremic BBK LTs and a VRS O/R X. Those LTs are $500, but WELL worth it, great quality.

yes, the Dr. Gas will work with BBK LT's, hotmustang331 has that set-up. BUT, I'll say it again, just because I can: Get a VRS X-Pipe made specifically for BBK LT's. Why? for one, thay are made to fit BBK LT's. you can get one in either aluminized steel or Stainless steel. its a true X just like Dr. Gas and unlike Dr. Gas, the VRS doesnt need to be welded together. having to pay have the Dr. Gas welded together is just more money you have to pay.Mustanggt108 said:fine you guys convinced me
okay since i'm on a budget.I will leave the new X pipe and LT's , untill after i get my mongoose kit.and sell the mustangtuning one.And since you guys recomend the BBK LT's i have to ask this ....can I go with DR.Gas x pipe with the BBK LT's ?
that said, the Dr. Gas X-pipe will fit and is a great product as well. your choice.

I will vote for Mac's, I have two friends with BBK and both are rusted to hell. My Mac's look fine and have been on the car 8 months.

Mine look just as good now as the day I put them on (- road film lol..and where my tubular K/motor mount was hitting 
) . They obviously wernt ceremic coated.
And yea I have the DR Gas O/R X. Only difference is the Dr Gas's crossover or "X" should be a little sooner than teh VRS one. Which makes maybe a TAD difference, and gives it a unique sound (slightly) thats not attained by any other X that I know of. But we welded our up ourselves...and since most cant do that, nor want to pay for it...I reccomended the VRS. To me its #2 on the list, JUST behind the DR Gas. JMO though.
