Default Itchin to modify...



okay, now that i installed the stingers, i need to get my fix, i'm contemplating some long tubes, my question is, after looking at all the different ones out there, do the addition of LT's require modifying the location of cats and X pipe. i want to keep it as "legal" as possible and would like to keep all sensors, etc. what is your set up, are they bolt on or is there a lot of cutting involved. and any pics available. this will probably be a winter project so i have plenty of time to contemplate.

thanks

Shorty headers will bolt straight up to your factory H-pipe. That sounds to me like what you're trying to do.

Most full long tube kits come with new mid-pipes and optional high flow cats. This of course moves the cats, however retains all 4 02 sensors. If you run without cats, you lose the two rear 02's.
