I am finally considering the upgrade to long tube headers this year. I would like to keep my Flowmaster cat-back, as I really enjoy the deep, muscle car sound of the Flowmaster with an O/R h-pipe. What brand of long-tubes would you recommend? I know BBK has long tubes with a short H-pipe, but I have never been pleased with BBK's quality. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have Kooks LT with thier offroad X. Sounds ok but not as good as my stock manifolds with my MRT Hpipe w/cats sounded. I would love a matched up Hpipe or prochamber but I went for max power.

Kooks and American Racing Headers make nice LTs.

Does Hooker sell an off-road h-pipe with their long tubes? I know they sell an off-road X-pipe with their long-tubes, but x-pipes do not sound good with Flowmaster catbacks.

I have a X with Flows and it sounds great! Here's a clip!

Hooker doesnt but I believe Kooks does....to get mid pipe option that match up to the Hookers you pretty much have to look over to Kooks
