Which brand of longtubes

[SuperDust22]

Which brand of longtubes should I get for my 03' GT? I want a good set that fit up good and doesn't hang that low. Also are any of the brand easier to put on? Also what about when I need to swap the cluch out, are there any brand that have more clearance than others? I am getting a prochamber as my midpipe.

I bought my car used and it has HTS Coated MAC longtubes. There's really no way of getting around how low a set hangs. I'm happy with the sound but since they were on it already I can't say as far as performance difference.

Long Tubes will not give you much if any performance gains. You may loose a bunch of low end with your current setup. I would spend the money else where. You could get a nice little NO2 kit and take a second off you ET..

Long tubes would help in my setup. High Boost Twin Screw Blower.

I know that the longtubes are going to hang lower but I don't want to hang real low like the ones from SLP. I ran MAC on my 94' and they didn't seem to fit that great. How do your fit?

I do plan on running nitrous but that will be after heads and cams. I am going to finish up my exhaust first then I am going to looking into the new trickflow intake. The nitrous will be alittle down the road. I want to bulid a strong NA motor frist.

They seem to fit well, no leaks at all. My car sits pretty low with my H&R Super Sports and the cats on my mid pipes hit before the longtubes would. As for the difference between them on a boosted car I can offer a bit of info. A friend has the same blower set-up from the same company I got mine from, we both run pretty much the same tune. I have longtubes as well as an intake and throttle body on mine where he does not. I made 9 wheel horsepower more then he did, running 2 degrees less timing. So in the Spring when I add those 2 degrees back it will be even more.

Sounds like a plan.

How 'bout Mid length's?
no ground clearance issues, and still has a collector?



BBK long tubes are also nice.
