Default Hedman Tork-Step long tubes for LS1

if you are looking for a decent set of long tubes, you should consider taking a closer look at the Hedman Tork-Step long tubes part# 68534 painted black or the HTC ceramic coated #66534.
These are designed with a 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" diameter primary tube combination to produce more torque throughout the entire rpm range.
Hedman also offers a replacement y-pipe kit #17534 painted or #17634 cermaic coated with a ball and socket flange for easy installation.
The price is tough to beat right around $300 or less for painted set.
