For the least amt of assy hassle...stay with one brand for the LTs/mid-pipe...I'm pretty sure the Mac/BBK thing is a no go.....lenghts and ball/sockets fitting , etc will vary between them....

mac does make an x pipe for shorties. also, bbk x pipes suck really bad. ask anyone. don't get it. dr.gas and magnaflow are two of the best. Keep in mind your future plans. If you are going with a big set-up, get longtubes, otherwise get shorties (which have a better idle). Shorties usually gives equal if not more power, especially torque, on a stock engine. Also, if you are ever going to get gt40p's, then keep that in mind.
