Default Length?

whats up guys? My name is Josh and im 18 (almost) I just ordered my pacesetter longtubes and im trying to decide what to do about the exhaust. I currently have a SLP LM but i know im going to switch it when i put on my LT's. I have decided to do true dual b/c of the sound. I;m going with sweet thunders or the classic chambered poweresticks and i need to know what length? I'm going to run a 2/5" x-pipe and dumps. So im thinking 18-23"
thanks
Josh

IMO do 16'' at max, your soon going to find out the longer they are the more quiet and more of a PITA they are to fit up.

it depends on how they are being mounted and exactly where... i did some right off the headers and they were 30".. and then we have cut the x pipe back and if im not mistaken they were 20" and they fit pretty nicely.. they may have been alittle shorter.. just make sure the shop mounts them right and and tucks them up nicely.. i see alot of people with them hanging real low...
