Hey guys, im at my wits end here. I am dying for a set of longtube headers, but do not want to give up my magnaflow x pipe and magnapack combo, I paid alot for them and damnit I would just think it was a waste. Anyways, what can I do to keep the combo and top it all off with a set of longtubes?

thats why i always make sure i go all out and do things right the fist time because you'll end up costing yourself more money later. You could custom fab up your X now to the headers, just some cutting, welding, and probably a lil bending. or if that is too much just buy a shorty o/r X to match your LT's.

My friend has the Kooks longtubes with their x pipe and magnaflow exhaust. At high RPMs, that car screams!

ive got access to a mig welder and some good experience, could you just cut some length off of the x pipe? or could some muffler shop make the approriate cuts/welds? and with the work done, would the welding screw up the exhaust flow (enough to make a difference?)

you could cut some off and weld the collectors back on but it would be pretty hard to match it to your headers. just buy a shorty and sell your X and you'll bite a lil cash but it will be worth it.Someone will buy it on stangnet.

I just ordered a set of Flowtech headers and matching X-pipe, and I happier than hell with them. The quality is actually really good, same design as my friend's Hookers and they cost me about 50% less. For the price, you might want to explore this as an option.
