"HEADERS" Recommendation anyone.
Looking at TPIS long tubes with Random Tech Cat. Should all bolt up to cat back Flowmasters. Is the X-brace going to be a problem? Jacking her up high enough is also a problem to deal with. Any help? Thanks

I've got some pictures of long tubes with R/T cats and cat back exhaust in a convertible if you would like to see them. I can email them or if you can post them here that would work too.

Yeppers!!! My TPIS long tubes/Y-pipe bolted right up to the main cat.
The instruction say that you have to raise the car 25". I think I got my block up 19" off the ground. I drove the front of the car on ramps and put the rear on jack stands.
No problem getting my headers up under the cross brace. I'm gonna get pull up some pics for ya.

Thanks for the pics and information. It looks like TPIS is the way to go. I heard the cross brace was a problem but I guess not??
