Default long tubes?

I have flowmaster cat back, and a magnaflow x pipe. The question I have is would long tubes fit just fine or would i need to make modifications? What is the difference between long tubes and shorty headers?

You need a different x,h pipe.

The difference... exactly what they say... long tubes are long. short are short.


Long tubes are a bitch to install.

Longtubes require a shorty mid pipe. In order to retain your current X pipe (good choice ) You will need to get a pair of shorty headers.

longtubes. RWHP from longtubes is probably less than 15 and shortys about 6-8. In the long run, if you aren't going Forced Induction longtubes are an a$$load of money for not a lot of HP If you don't have gears already, take the $$$ you'd nee dfo rlongtubes and get some 4.10's. You'll gte more performance with less $$$
