it depends on what you want to do. if you currenly have shorties/stockers, you will have to make your own exhaust to go from the collector to where the car back starts. thats the bitch about long tubes, is that you have to also buy the companies H/X pipe to match them.

check a few local exhaust shops to see what it will cost you to have them make the pipes from your headers to the rest of the exhaust system.

you need something to go from the end of the header, to the start of the exhaust system.

you can modify what you have
you can have an exhaust shop make you something
you can buy the H/X pipe for your brand of header
