Just remember with the TBSS intake u need an x-link which is $225 I also needed pigtails for injectors $100 so it ads up quick, go with long tubes I got my kit on eBay for cheap and it's on a 4x4

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SHORTY HEADERS.

There is little to no gains with them, stock manifolds are better imo. Long tubes or nothing, Just buy a good set of LT's and fitment is never an issue. I have ARH on my nbs and it was perfect fitment

Im using Pacesetter Long tubes on mine. Fitment is great. But if you live in an area were the roads get salted in the winter they will rust. you can get them coated through a company like Jethot and they will last a good while. And a good exhaust shop can bend you pipes so that you can still run cats if you need to.

Sorry to jump in, Im in a similiar spot. If i go with a TBSS intake what 90mm throttle body do you guys recommend to use. A stock TBSS or aftermarket.
