RE: Long Headers

Remember that the headers will be different on an automatic than they will be on a stick. Buy accordingly

Would you mind explaining? Mine's auto and headers are top of my list... do you mean just because they fit differently, or because shorty vs long works differently depending on the tranny?

RE: Long Headers

long tubes do give more hp and tq then shorties just the only problem is that they are a pain to work around

RE: Long Headers

I got shorties and I love them. And I will be lowering the car and do not want any clearance issues.
