Hedman long tubes, t5, I know

Ihave been trying to decide what to do with my exhaust. I don't have to worry about an inspeciton sticker (already got one), and I don't have that much money, so I was going to buy the hedman longtubes for 135, and put xtensions on them, and maybe put glasspacks on them, until I get a ticket. I wanted to know how much of a pain it is with a t5, and do I need a smaller starter? I also have es motor mounts. I know you have to grind a little off of the bellhousing, i'm fine with that. I currently have hedman shorties that came with the car, but I read about the y pipe, and I dont have a welder, also I think the custom subframe connectors, wont clear a single 3" exhaust ran to the back, but they might. thanks

Honestly for our cars the custom weld up header kits sound better and better. Only problem is alot of people don't have welders and the kits are expensive for what they are

You should do what I did for awhile... On your headers, put a straight 3" tube to about the middle of the door, put in a small turbo-style muffler, and then a turn out to dump out the side by the rear tires. Worked great for me, and sounded very nice. It was never loud enough to get me a ticket either.

Purple Hornies (Flowtech) might also be an option for you. They are basically just glasspacks with a 3-bolt header flange on one side, and a turnout on the other. Would work nice, but they are NOT subtle

The P/N is 50232FLT

I think I might be going with the purple hornies, or the redhots. I want to see how the glasspacks will sound. Then I will put mufflers on when I get sick of it. All depending on how hard long tubes are to install.
