easiest LTs to install?

I want a set of Hooker LTs. I just want to make sure that this mod doesn't turn into a huge project of frustration. What are the easiest Long Tubes to install? I have no inspections or smog tests to worry about so thats no big deal. I just want the most gain for the easiest (Long Tube) install.

I don't even care about having to fabricate the exhaust from the flanges back. All I care about is the initial install. What needs to be removed and relocated. My car is in the sig. Its a stock 1994 6spd. Thanks a lot everyone.

Anyone know how easy the Arizona Speed and Marine longtubes are? They look like a more complete factory replacement for around the same price. (Within a few hundred dollars). I'm mainly looking for ease of installation.

um you mean midlengths right? unless they just came out with LT's for the LT1? TPIS makes long tubes...
ease of installation will be shorites or midlengths all day long over a set of LT's
but i did a tubular k-member and a-arms when i did my Hookers so mine went in in about 3 secs

Length wasn't mentioned on Thunder Racing. I assumed. I doing either Long Tubes or these Arizona's depending on the gain to ease of installation ratio. I'll check out the TPIS long tubes though. Thanks.

hooker lt's need to have the pass side of the engine jacked up. not fun. JET-HOT lt's show just the same performance as the hookers, but no need to jack the engine up. I've installed both. types, i'd much rather go with the jet hots.

i believe cincy speed warehouse has the hooker LT's for around 575, www.cincyspeed.com call them and ask about the hooker prices.

The jet hots only came up to be like low 500's. I haven't had them on my personal car, just installed them on others.

I am going to have the JET-HOTS on my car by the end of the summer though.
