Guys with LT's inside please

I blew out my O2 sensors with no luck retapping it. So I decided to go ahead and get LT's and a new dual cat Y-pipe. Any suggestions? Im kinda on a budget so low prices would be great!

If you are on a budget i'd look for some MAC mid legth. easy to install and relatively inexpensive. unless you're all about long tubes then Hookers or Jet Hots would be a great choice. just my .02 worth

Pacesetter seems to be the way to go for people on a budget. I don't have anything to compare them to, but they installed real easy (both went in from the top, didn't have to jack up the engine) they have okay ground clearence, I can go straight over speed bumps, or sideways when other people are in the car, and they were the least expensive ones I found anywhere. Just do a search for pacesetter, I've never seen anything negative about them.

both went in from the top? looking at pictures those things look huge, did you have to take off a lot of stuff?

Yep, and to top that off I did it by myself, nobody up there guiding it. The only extra thing I took off were the valve covers. It just took a lot of rocking and twisting. And the car wasn't even jacked up that high, it was on drive up ramps. If I had coated, I would have had to wrap them up real well, but didn't have any real problems.

Sweet I was hoping for not having a big hassle getting them in. I have access to a lift and friends that love to work on cars. But I have Eibach springs so I guess Im not going to have any ground clearance but thats okay. So are yours coated or not?
