Default longtubes

I was just curious what everyone has to say about what the best longtubes are for the LT1, besides Kooks which are awesome, but way outta my price range.

Hooker (or the JetHot version) have been a favorite for a long time.
Pacesetter certainly has the best bang for your buck.

I have FLP ceramic coated LTs here.

I was going to get the Hooker LTs, but I saw the mounting flange and it is really thin when you compare it to other brands.

pacesetter here can't beat the price and "putting on flame suit", Hooker likes to rust.

Pacesetter Coated LT's for the best bang for yer buck. Plus they have thicker header flanges and wont leak as easily as the Hookers do with their two piece #1 primary tube
