Default Question on FLP's LT's and Y pipe

Im about to purchase a set of longtubes and y pipe and i think ive about decided on the FLP LT's, cats, and y. Any of you guys run these? Did a search but only found a few threads (mainly install stuff, not performance results) on the topic.

Does it sound like a good way to go? Or is there any reason to stay away from FLP? Thanks in advance, Jay.

Personally the only reason why I would by the FLP's is beacause you can swap the cats and ory pipe. Other than that I would look else where.

I am running these headers.And so far I'm pleased. The car made 364 hp before & now 390 hp but that is with a 3" cut out in the I pipe & the new GMMG cat back made 385 hp with the cut out closed. before I had a flow master on it & mac mids with ORY pipe. I am running the FLP's with no cats now.
The pipe is hitting the floor on pas side when I hit bumps just right or acelerate hard.
The Y pipe also narrows down to a 2.5" so its a bitch to get the Y & I pipe to meet together.
There pretty good if you can get them cheap. I got hosed, I paid to much for them.
