Are they made of 302 Stainless Steel? You want something that will last a while. And are you goin to keep your stock cats? If you are, will they fit these tubes?

I don't believe these are stainless, that's why they are so cheap. Will they work, yep. Will they last? Well, that is up to the individual enviroment. Get the ceramic coated ones.

mrray tell me what you think http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...0A3228911.aspx you would also have to probably buy hi-flow cats to go with the headers....

For a budget long tube, they aren't bad. Get the coated, the painted ones will rust.
You'll need either hiflow cats or a cat delete section. Either way, you'll need tuned. IIRC, the ARH headers have a 5/8 " flange for comparsion. If budget will allow it, clnk the link in my sig and talk to Nate. That way you get a great quality header/awesome tuning, in one package. If needed though, you could go the PaceSetter route, just get the coated, lol, I can't emphasis that enough.

Your telling me. I would only go coated though I'm thinking on trying the bbk. I can't fork out enough for the arh+tune. Lucky beta testers get all the cool stuff!

Yea I would follow Ray's suggestion there. I am buyin the ARH Longtubes with Cats and adding the MRT V2 exhaust mufflers. I also have a guy down here, who will do a dyno tune, so I should be rolling good afterwards.

Every dog has it's day, I finally got one, lol! With LTs, you're still going to need a tune, or live with a CEL. The PaceSetters aren't bad, neither are the BBK, I'm sure they'll all do as they are supposed to. If you go PS, get the coated, if you go BBK, they are stainless, IIRC. In either case, we'll need pics!
