dude, i have the lowest Eibach kit and my car sits ridiculously low...there is no way long tubes would work. I bought the MAC mid lengths and they are supposed to tuck the exact same as the factory manifolds and y pipe. I bought their ORY pipe also. good luck

It's not the LT's, it's the y-pipe that gives people problems, and usually only on the driver side.

Pacesetter LT's and Pacesetter y-pipe tucks high, as the y-pipe is crushed a bit for clearance under the dreaded body support. Kooks LT's and Kooks y-pipe are another good choice, as they have the crushed y-pipe too. The crushed portion will not hinder performance by more than 1-2hp.

meh, oh well. I got the MAC ceramic coated mid lengths and ORY at dealer cost so it is worth it to me. I dunno, when i looked under the car and already say how low everything was to the ground, i thought that there was no way for long tubes. Its not big deal to me.
