Longtubes. Clearance will be a little bit of a problem. You can expect minor exhaust leaks from the driver side as well. Being that you have a centrifugal charger, the longetubes with off-road h pipe would be beneficial. I have used BBK, Hooker, and Cooks longtubes. Hooker tubes is by far better quality, 700+ dollars, and support. Currently I run a 11.41 @124mph. I have the BBK Lontubes (500$+149$) and matching H pipe with Spintech and turn downs. JBA's catforward will run you the same price but the outcome is by far better with longtubes. Dyno tune your car and find out for your self. Tune it per cylinder and watch for detonation...in your weakest cylinder. Expect to purchase rods, pistons, etc. Look at Probe! What psi are you running at peak power and are you intercooled? 30 pds squirters with what fuel system(aeromotive)? I "highly" recommend you look into steeda and what they are doing wiht supercharged programs that they now distribute. Look under tech comments and you will get a rough idea as to why they have the step on some others. I have used mid lengths before to prevent ground clearance especially when you are lowered by 1.5 to 2in. Replacing K member is highly recommendable. Try D&D Motorsports, if im not mistaken, they have a very creditable rep and special on there K member. Noise and vibration will be high and the heat under your feet as well.
Take care my friend...and eat up every bowtie you can...
