RE: Long Tube VS Shorty
On most cars, you'll see a little more low-end torque.
This is a real good thing if you have an automatic trans.
IMHO, I'd take the long tubes over the shorty's anytime no matter what trans I had.
I've always thought of the shorty's as a convience item........

Power. If you build your engine strong yu dont want shortys holding you back. They sound better to. But are more of a pain to install, bit it is worth it. I am sure most will agree with the long tubes.
