The best would be an ARH set up. If you need some help with picking out the proper set up for your application please let me know.

Not to threadjack, but are those Borla clamps you are using? I just installed my LT's recently and I hate the shitty clamps, I'm going to be purchasing new ones, just curious as to how those are working out for you? Leaks? Ground clearance looks good which I like. Let me know thanks

There really is no "best". Any lt, ypipe thats meant for our cars will work with and catback meant for our cars. The question is what kind of material do you want.

Well theres actualy alot to my story lol. Thats how I had them the night I finished with them however, I ended up snapping a header bolt and had to bring the car to a shop to get it out. Of course they had to take everything I installed off. They couldnt install it like I did. I had them weld the Y merge to catback pipe so theres no clamp there now but the one in the pic I believe is from borla. I dont really know cause the borla was on the car when I bought is and the borla is old as hell! But anyway, im not useing the tunnel brace now because they couldnt install it without it rattleing on something. So its lower now. Its fine. Now the clamps tsp sent are just fine. At first I took some permatex copper and went around the joints of the pipes, then I put a nice bead of in around the inside of the clamps, wrapped them around, sockem down, and good to go. I actualy took them off again last summer and wraped tin foil around the joints and clamped them. Works fine for me dude. Alot of people complain about how everything fits but I think it comes down to the installer
