I only have the free mods and a cai k&n.
M6 93.

If emissions and ground clearance are no concern, and wont be in the future, go with long tubes. No question about it.

i use crappy pacesetter shorties stock heads and bottom end and trap:113 @ 12.3 n/a and 123 @ 11.5 w/100shot consistant with the mods below.no weight reduction at 2300 ft also retained all emissions. those aren't bad times for shorties.my point is overall lt's maybe better but shorties can also provide good comprimise when emissions or ground clearance is an issue.

FLP long tubes will pass emissions. Well at least they will pass the sniffer no problem. The only problem you might have will be on the visual. Depends on how strick your area is for testing. Is see it as if you pass the sniffer than whats the big deal...

FLP's are cool but way too expensive. Personally I dont think theyre worth it at all.

I've got the MAC system from the manifolds back (Y-pipe, HiFlow Cat, and CatBack) and would like to add the midlengths. How bad is the installation? I did all the other stuff myself.
