The only LT's that i know that has ground clearence issues are the SLP LT's and do not get shortys cuz they have little to none performance gains. So as long as you stay clear from the SLP LT's you will be fine.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Get stainless long tubes (kooks, qtp) if you have the money. They are the best you can get and won't rust in a year or two.

The best price you'll find for the Pacesetters is from YoungB@BYUNSPEED. I just ordered LTs w/ no emissions fittings and ORY for 510 shipped

i lucked out and was looking on ebay and found some nice new pacesetters w/their armour coating and saw the guy was in my home town, paid him 350ish and got a hooker y for 150 from a guy here too, pretty good for new stuff, texas speed would have been my next choice

WS6 Kid-What did you have on your car when you put down the 336/350? From what i can tell in your cardomain it looks like your a 6-speed, sounds like you have a factory freak. Mines a little bit of a freak, i did 316/341 w/a lid and cutout, but im an a4. Just wondering

I have the supermaxx headers and love them. I'd either go with them, or Kooks/QTP.

Speed Inc is the Shiznitt!!! Good customer service (talk to Larry), and decently priced. Installing my Kooks LT's, Catted-y and SLP Loudmouth (and a few other nic-nacs) at there Speed Inc shop in Schaumburg Ill in a few weeks and its costing me around 450 bucks.
