Do you ever plan on lowering the car?
If so then get the mids, if not then LTs are the only way to fly in my opinion.

Pace Setter LT's clear pretty damn good for those of us that are lowered.

Longtubes all the way. I have had a problem with my Pacesetters though. I get the ORY rattling. Not as bad as when I first got it installed because I added some padding to that spot where the metal is flattened out to clear the frame but still get vibrations at certain rpm's. anyone else have this problem?

ORY = "off road y-pipe"

Off road because it's technically illegal to run one on public streets because it modifies the stock cat location.
