They are absafrickinlutely a great idea. You will love them.

One note...make sure that the heat shield clears the LT's by at the least 3/8 of an inch so that you dont hear a little tap.

If you like 40 - 50 Hp with a Tune??

My LT's burnt a hole in my AC line and it was not touching so I ended up heat wrapping the new Line and that part of the collector.... no more worries
