long tubes or shorties

[93PGT]

i have a 96 GT. right now the car has dual 2.5" with o/r X pipe and flowmasters. should i get shorties that bolt up, like stock so i wont have to mess with the exhaust? or long tubes and the just have conecting pipes (to X pipe) rans at a muffler shop. would I have problems with groung clearance because my car is lowered w/ ford racing springs. what about fitment. and are LT's that much better?????

If it were me, I'd get the LT's. You should be fine with clearance as long as you take it easy over bumps and such. IMO, shorties are a waste.

long tubes are that much better and you should be fine..

MAC long tubes are great regardless of what anyone says...they tuck way up in there higher than my mufflers of mid pipe.

I'm with everybody else, get LT's if you can. If you can't, make it so you can

You will see more benefit from long tubes but if you are going with a turbo in the future it'd be a waste.

thanks for the responses. i do want to buy long tubes but didnt want clearance to be an issueand figured if shorties werent ot far behind i could have dealed with those. but now itss looking like i am gonna buy MAC LT's. or are there any other brands that fit really good and far off the ground?

look into either mac or hooker... i've read that other brands lke slp and bbk you have to remove the passenger side header if you ever have to do any transmission work of any kind i might be wrong though but hooker and mac tuck up in there great like Justin said.
