So I want long tubes, but I have a D&D T56 Swap...

I want to get long tubes, but do not know what x-pipe will clear my cross member, (it has been moved about 6 inches to the rear of the car). I have the D&D T56 swap kit.

Also, what do you all recomend for matching headers to the x pipe?

One more thing....

What are the reasons for the ceramic coating. I know that it is for retaining heat, but wont that just conduct that heat back into the heads. If we are worried about cooling the underhood temp. by just holding the heat in, then we should remove the radiator too right?
It just seems like you would want to release as much heat as possible to keep from overheating your headers and possibly cracking them. Will the headers rust without the coating. If so, then that is a good enough reason for me. Just thinking out loud...

ceramic coating keeps the heat inside the tubes so it doesn't radiate outward and increse under the hood temps. the heat won't go back into the head because of the exhaust flow. plus keeping the exhaust temp a little higher helps with the flow out of the exhaust. the coating also prevents rust when done correctly. the radiator isn't going to produce heat like hot headers, plus the radiator obviously cools the engine down.

Yea, I guess keeping the exhaust gasses hot and moving is a bit more important...

So what about those headers and x pipe? Anyone have any experience with this?

What about the SLP coated lt Headers with the SLP o/r x pipe ?
