Get long tubes if you're not worried about emissions. Take out the EGR and AIR systems as well.

If your gona go with longtubes i which i would highly recommend, go with pacesetter coated ones for there low price...like 400 bucks. They will make just as much power as hooker but cost less and last just as long. If you want them to look good forever go with kooks stainless steel but i think they are around 700-800 bucks or so.

Click Here Are these a good buy. Whoever started this post, you can take a look at these to. I think they are ok, but I want to be sure. I don't think it comes with a Y-pipe though.

BBK or any other shorties 5-10 rear wheel tops. ANY longtbues with 3" Off road Y 15-25 depending on other mods. Get the pacesetter and call it a day.

Only thing I see shorties really worth the time and money for is turbo set-ups.

Aren't those the same ones you put in the other threads? Those ones seem a little too cheap. Like you said in the PM's, you want a system done right w/o problems the first time. Get a good set the first time so you won't have any problems. Pacesetter is good, but I'm not sure about those in particular.

Steer clear of BBK!!! Thats my opinion. I bought a BBK 58mm throttle body about 4 months ago and its the biggest piece of shi* I ever bolted to my car. It is a cheap casting with the butterflies milled off center by about an eighth of an inch. The intake still has much of the rough cast surface on it, I had to deburr all mating surfaces as they were not deburred, at all. And last but not least, the shaft that the butterflies turn on came loose and I had to reweld the joint where the throttle cable meets. The car decided to idle at about 3500 rpm's, at a traffic light, in the middle of cop ville. Has anyone else had problems with BBK?

Are you saying 15-25 RWHP with LT headers isn't realistic? It sure is....Especially if you have other mods.

Are you talking to me?
If so i was saying it should be a tad more like at least 15-20 for shorties. I said 5-10 hp is bullshit if your adding headers. I honestly dont really see how there will be a huge difference between the two unless they are stepped.
