To keep the X you would go with shorties. Not as much bang as long tubes but better than stock. I really don't have any experience with headers yet but I hear Bassani makes a good piece.

What are your reasons for keeping the X? Long tubes would be better and since it is a major pain to swap headers on these cars why not swap the whole thing from headers to cat back?

BTW...Welcome.

Just make sure not to get cheapos, ive seen to many of them warp from the heat, youll save in the long run with a high end set.

well i wanted to keep the x because it sounded great and i really am not sure which catback systems are worth the money and give a good throaty sound if you know what i mean. but any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Go with the shorties then. Catbacks are hit and miss because they are generally different for each person depending on their taste. I've found the X a little too raspy for my liking. The H or the Prochamber I have now have a real nice throaty sound with the stock cats. You can get an x that will fit with LT's...just leave that catback. It will fit fine.
