Default Flotech LTs with TSPX Qs

I want to run a true dual exhaust maybe TSPX. I also want cheap headers that work well. The Flotechs fit the bill, but have flanges instead of slip fit. How would I connect these together? Would I cut off the flanges, put on extensions, or weld flanges to the duals (if I do this would I have to cut the duals shorter), any other options? My goal is to save money and weight. Are the Pacesetters a better option for me?
TIA.

I heard Pacesetters are crap too though. Is it true that they have a new style that does not require modifications to install? If so I will just get those and not worry about flanges.

yes, the new batch of pacesetters are a lot better...you do not have to notch the k-member or anything...just take off the old, and slide on the new...let me know if you have any more questions, i am not too far from hoffman estates, i live in new lenox...i can even help with the install if you would like..Matthew

Pacesetters are nice, and the new ones are even better. Just scroll down the page.. You'll see all the happy customers..

Well I know all about it. I went to a three year program to get out of college early so I could get a good job fast. Before I graduated 9-11 happened and my field was being laid off. I worked a dead end job for 3 years before I found my current job. I was very discouraged to keep looking, but I was persistent and found a great career. Not just a job. Well worth the wait though. Now I work for a good company that cares about their employees. So all in all, don't worry about it. You will be better off and find something.

The system won't bolt up to Flowtech systems The flange setup on the Flowtechs won't fit without some cutting at a exhaust shop

Thaks Jason.
I think I will go with the Pacesetters and TSPX setup.
