Default Full exhaust question

I currently have headers, cats, xpipe, stock pipes and Corsas, but have an exhaust leak I cannot track down. This reason, along with the Corsas not lining up very well, and that the headers appear to be very small diameter, I am thinking of an entirely new system for my stroker.
I would like Kooks or LG longtubes, hi flo cats, and a Corsa Ti system. The Ti system comes with an h pipe right behind the cats.
Since I have to go with hi flows, do I need to go with shorties, or will my original plan of longtubes, cats, and Corsa Ti's work? What pros/cons to shorties vs. longtubes?
I will probably buy used parts piece by piece, and only want things I need.

Thanks in advance guys.

you get more power from longtubes than you would from a set of shorties. It all depends on how strict your state is with emissions. If they do visual inspections, you may be stuck with shorties.
