Default Long tube headers

I have a question with long tube headers... I live in california and yea i know they illegal but if i was to drive around with a whole catback system and xpipe will it be toooo loud? also i heard that longtubes give u problems when they get installed or something like they **** up alot.. dont know.... I also have a question has anyone heard of glass pipes??? can glass pipes be installed in a mustang? and are they louder?

Depends on the mufflers and whether or not your x pipe has cats. With magnaflow mufflers and a catted x pipe, it would be pretty darn quiet in my opinion. Yes, longtubes can cause issues. Some of the things are the steering shaft tends to melt, making the steering really sloppy, you have to watch your ac hoses, as you can burn those up. Glass pipes? You mean glass PACKS? Of course they can be installed on our cars, they just sound like ***. JMO, and yes, they are MUCH louder.

I have a hooker lt's on other than the fact that my steering shaft rubs a little bit on the headers and a small header leak, i don't have any problems! .. ... ...
A flaming river steering shaft will fix any problems with lt's install!
