Pypes. Hands down.

Some of there mid-pipes/catbacks are known for problems but have yet to hear anything but good reviews on your longtubes.

I have them and they fit perfectly. They are "copies" of the Kooks which tested in a few magazine as the best performing headers. For the price you can't beat it. Longtubes + H or X pipe for 650$.

no I've heard h pipes and I like the way they sound better than x pipes, its all personal taste though, however x pipes are more efficient.

It really wasn't that bad, it took me a day to do and half the time I was completely by myself, I also don't have a lift so it was on jack stands, even then it wasn't so bad. The instructions included are really detailed and easy to follow. Just know that you need o2 extensions for the front and if you're running a catted mid pipe then the back too, however I have my rear o2's just unplugged.
