The long tubes sound good. If it's an auto then forget the gears and get a good tq converter. If you went with less expensive headers like Pacesetters you could probably do the headers & y pipe, converter, and a cam.

I think for the money they can't be beat. As for fittment they went in without any problems. I've only had them on the car for
about a week so far. I hear QTP and Kooks are the best but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on headers alone since my car is not a daily driver and does not see rain & snow.
