LTs will allow your engine to breathe on the exhaust side, which you need to compliment on the intake side as well with a good CAI, and that helps in the higher RPMS. Which is why they improve HP so nicely. Mac mids are also a really good choice if your car is dropped quite a bit and you have clearance issues where LTs would constantly scrape.
Keep in mind you'll need a new Y Pipe and O2 extenders. And unless you plan to solder and heatshrink the O2s to lengthen them yourself, you'll need to get the extenders. Otherwise if you try to use crimping butt connectors, you can (darn good possibility) change the signal the PCM receives.

.. Iv always preferred !!Shorties!! to Longtubes on a !!stock-to-bolt on car!! Simple because its cleaner sounding and they just pour torque through 100mph like longtubes Never could! +1 for LT's though!.. your just not going to feel any real power diffrence with the LT's until 80mph+ Spend the money right once and get hooker's lt's

J/KYou might want to brush up on your knowledge on headers before you give feedback.

To both of you guys...what does vehicle speed have anything to do with the performance of a specific header design? 
You guys mentioned power band shifting, and then started throw mph numbers out there.
RPM's matter, not speed...
RPM, equal length, stepped, scavenging, reversion, flow velocity...all those play a role, not vehicle speed.
