Default So what longtubes fit NNBS 4x4 afterall?

After reading through a lot of recent threads of people having trouble fitting the stainless steel "cheapo" longtubes on their 2wd trucks and 4wd guys having no luck without a lot clearance issues, I was wondering what fits?

Obviously I have a 4wd '11 Silverado and was looking at buying some headers soon. I liked the fact that the cheap stainless steel headers came with matching y-pipe and were budget friendly; but, I would like to stay away from hammering, grinding, removing parts to install headers.

Haven't seen too many mention Pacesetters anymore but I'd like to know how they fit the 4wd trucks? The pricier stainless longtubes are out of the question right now because it wouldn't leave me any money to buy a catback.

My uncle always said "Good, Fast, and Cheap. Pick 2, you can't have all 3."

I've been having my ARH LT's for about 2 months now...waiting on cutouts and Borla XR-1 before installing...I hope they will fit without modification on my setup...these things were not cheap enough to be beaten and bent to fit!!!

I have pacesetters but they're not stainless, they're ceramic coated. Mine fit great no Clarence issues at all.

I don't think I have ever seen a thread where ARH had to be beaten to fit unless it was a custom build or one off situation.

Once funds allow this will be my next purchase

Put ARH 1 7/8" on my dads 2011 NHT 4x4 and they fit extremely well and didn't require any modifications to the truck or headers to fit.

You got plenty of clearance on NNBS trucks tbh.

Caught this earlier this month.
