does the STS kit work on long tube headers or is it made specifically for stock manifolds?

It works, but there isn't any gains from running LT's, if you did a search, there was just a post about this, not to mention the numerous before.

Its not necessarily that there arent any gains at all...just that no one has solid evidence of before/after testing containing hp gains/losses. Many have said itll spool faster due to increase exhaust flow. Mainly, the idea is, its not worth the $ to use em with a rear mount, unless of course you like the sound (loud).

yeah I do like the sound, but wouldn't that mess up ground clearance even more with LT's? I have a set of headers that I haven't put on, and I think I'll sell 'em.... unless the turbo is too quiet and maybe I'll put those bad boys on
