I got pacesetters LT's w/ a 3 inch ory and no scraping for me on stock height. but i am getting ready to throw a pro kit on it so we will see how that goes, got my headers from texas speed.
I am at stock ride hight with pacesetter and ory and I can get a full soda can under my hole exhaust and I have nothing hitting the floor board either. I can get you pics under the car tonight if you would like
So consensus seems to go toward the Long Tubes.. So now the question is which should i really look at getting?

Now few said to get the LT's as long as i dont have to worry about emissions.. So does that mean i should actually go with shorties instead? i def want the car legal and able to pass inspection.
And regardless of what i chose, is this something i can do in a weekend? or better left to a shop? The car isnt being driven at the moment, since the A/C is out and Texas heat with leather seats just dont go together, so if its something i can do now would be the time. And noticed a mention of the motor mounts, will i need to swap them out as well?

Can anyone tell me why to go with the long tubes if i dont have to worry about emissions? Im in houston and have to deal with emaissions.. so what am i looking at as far as emission problems if i go with the LT's? i already got the hi-flow cats, but waiting to install until after the headers are put in..
I thought i saw on here where someone had some steps on installing the headers, was i mistaken and saw that on another site? want to get them for christmas gifteven though i will be the one doing the work lol )

Long tubes.. Go through one of the sponsors and give them a call for a great price..

(Texas Speed, LG Motorsports, Thunder Racing, LS1Speed, WS6 store etc etc)
And it will take a solid afternoon to a full day to do the headers and Y. Depending on your abilities, tools and help available. Some slip right in, while others require you to disconnect the trans mount to move the engine over, or grind a casting tab off the block.

I started a thread a while back about opinions on the BBK headers and Y-pipe. Lots of good stuff if you can find the thread. Bottom line is the .5" smaller y pipe doesn't take any HP away and gives ya a bit more ground clearance. Most places carry them for $369 w/ y-pipe. The finish is chrome. From what i've read the installation with them is as easy as its gonna get for LT's. I will be pulling the trigger on them when tax return time gets here.
