I'd look to the TSP 1 7/8" long tubes. The quality is top notch & you could buy them, the x pipe, the TSP tune & have install money left at $1200!!

I'm in the same boat, got about $1,200 to spend and dunno where to spend it. I believe im getting axles since I have some of the other bolt on stuff done.

just on the fence about getting a tune. i would love LTs and the extra power but not sure if its too soon or not. Are a cheap set of shorties any good at all?

It is my understanding that you need headers and hi flow cats to get a HP gain. Cat or Axle backs are just for sound.

My plan is to go with a set of Dynatech SuperMAXX Stainless Steel Headers and Hi Flow Cats and leave the rest of the exhasut alone for now.

Your in The people's republic of California!!

You should stay away from Lt's if you don't want to be bothered with the BS, then I'd go with a tune,gears and suspension first. Then I might go with shorties but those gains are minimal. Maybe an electric w/p and u/d pulley later too? Up to you

Just my .2
