I mean I know how they look like but I cant really figure out what they do

They are headers that bolt both onto the engine, and then straight on to a 'Cat Back Exhaust'. Also known as a 'Cat Delete', since they take up the space the Cat or HFC would go as well due to them being longer than normal aftermarket (say Stillen) headers. They give you the cleanest path for the gasses to flow from engine to rear bumper. That =

when you floor it.

I can say first hand from the experience with my tC. When I put on the cat delete header, you could Instantly tell with the butt + seat test. And as for sound, it REALLY opens up your exhaust. It will come with alot of rasp, so you wanna have some decent resonators to minimize that. (My tC has 2 now.)

But you can definately see a difference in the driving experience, and based on my previous experience alone, I would highly reccomend them. It isn't legal everywhere, so if you get emission tested, make sure to keep your stockers. Although installation/removal can be time consuming without the proper tools. But not impossible.

so they are something like an alternative to HFC and test pipes but even more hardcore?

mmm interesting

Both Resonated Test Pipes and HFC's bolt To the restrictive stock headers. And both still have some sort of material to deaden (restrict) the flow of gasses and therefore noise.

LTH's will be completely smooth all the way from engine flange to CBE Flange. Whatever comes out of the engine has a slip and slide to your exhaust. You just wanna make sure based on how much noise/rasp you want/willing to handle, that you balance out that openness with the resonators/exhaust cannister material.

i.e. if you wanna go LTH's, its reccomended (to me) to go with the 18" Resonators and the SS cannisters. Those features will help balance out the freedom the LTH's give to the exhaust.

Its like taking a test pipe and welding it together to your headers...It is one peice that connects to your Cat Back Exhaust
