My warranty will expire in March so I'm considering headers sometime after that but I seem to recall hearing on here that I won't be able to utilize my Solo's with LT's. Is that true and if so why? Would shorties tied to the Solo's be worth doing?
Irrespective of all that, as far as the three primary sizes go, can all three hook up to the stock pipes from the back of the cats?
You will not be able to use Solo high flow cats with long tube headers. Solo high flow cats are really a full mid pipe replacement from the stock manifolds to the cat back. Long tube headers eliminate that entire section. You can bolt the Solo high flow cats up to shorties. You will not see the same kind of power as you would with long tubes but you will see another small gain.

When selecting long tube headers with the intention of bolting them to a stock configuration cat back you have to make sure to buy a set of headers labeled "factory connect" or "short system". These headers are designed to utilize the stock cat back geometry. If you have any questions when looking at the options do not hesitate to hit me up or give us a call.
