finally put longtubes on

[jl04gt]

wow what a diffrence in power if i kenw it was going to br that much better i would have done it a long time ago going the track next week yo see how much they helped hopefully a couple of tenths faster

 

[SWRTstang]

Thats my next upgrade.

What brand did you go with?

 

[jl04gt]

i went with flowtech longtubes i bought then from summit they are pretty cheap

 

[98laseredgt]

i helped my brother put SLP's on a few weeks ago. did you run into any trouble with fit or anything. i have been thinkin about getting the flowtechs. cause they are cheap but didnt know how they would fit.

 

[SWRTstang]

cool deal, i was thinking of going with the flowtech headers in the coated finish and matching x-pipe.

how was the install? any major issues?

 

[jl04gt]

the install was easy no fitment issues i did not have to modify any thing i was pretty happy with the quality or the headers to

 

[mity2]

nice. I'm taking mine out right now due to few issues not related with header...

 

[flashstang04]

what are using for the rest of the exhaust?
Did you get the $96 ??

 

[jl04gt]

yes i bought the matching x pipe it went on easy to with no issues

 

[flashstang04]

So you are catless right?

 

[DerekStangGT]

how long did the install take you? did you use a floor jack?

 

[mity2]

well, Derek, i'm taking my header out ow to take tranny out. It took me about 4.5 hours to dropp K-menber, to expose my header(which i'm going to disconnect them now).
Thats using no air tools, and 1 floor jack, and working bymyself.
this is my second time doing it. so that might havesomething to do with it

So you are catless right?

Is it possible to have CATS and longtubes?

 

[Mustang4119]

what do you think is better cams or long tubes? Are either of these street legal and emissions legal meaning I will pass.

Heck...with flowtech's....I'd be happy if the flange bolt holes matched up...much less fitting with ZERO modifications.

Honestly.....I'm suprised.

 

[Fubar02GT]

what's so bad about them? i mean they're cheap as is, and i got some summit bucks to blow so i could get a set for under 200 bucks...i'd do it for that...

 

[mity2]

i don't have an experience with Flowtech. But considering amount of room u have to install bolts on some spot on LT(even with K-member out), i wouldn't want to mess with header if its going ot be off bit. making LT fit in there is one thing, but making bolts fit to header that is off is an entirely different matter. If its off bit. u DO NOT have room to wiggle it in in our car, especialy when it comes to header. i i would gradly pay extra money for company thats known for good fitment...

 

[jl04gt]

yes i am catless and it took me and my buddy about 10 hours to do the install that was including taking the k member off to and we did it on jackstands to

 

[drew_shipley]

How much do the LTs and matching O/R X go for?

 

[jl04gt]

longtubes are 239.95 painted or 349.95 coated i think note sure about the coated ones x pipe is 97.95
