Default Y pipe/headers info

So I was reading up there @ the top and it says you have to change your y out if youre putting in lt's??? Is this right? Also, im going to be buying some pacesetters here in the near future, what all do I need? The headers and the Y?

The simple answer is yes! You will need a different "Y" pipe if you use long tubes.

i think it would be best to get it tuned, just to be sure you don't throw codes. AND YES, YOU will see HP AND TORQUE increase. i went from 307rwhp to 328rwhp----318rwtq to 333rwtq with lt's
