RE: LTs KILLING low end
The swap from stock 1-1/2" primaries to 1-5/8" on a relatively stock engine will cause some of the low end snap to go because of the lower back pressure. It happened to me but after you do an h/c/i, long tubes will really shine.

on a stock 5.0 your probly not gonna notice any difference, but no they will help you out a bit
The length directly controls the power band in the R.P.M. range. Longer tube lengths pull the torque down to a lower R.P.M. range. Shorter tubes move the power band up into a higher R.P.M. range.

shorties wont have the same hp gain up top as the longtubes, but will make more torque down low.
this isnt from some source i found on the internet somewhere, it is from MY personal experiences.

RE: LTs KILLING low end
just asking cause i been trying to diagnose a power loss in my car that happens intermittently, and its usually most felt in like 2 3 4 gear down lower and somtimes the entire gear car just feels lazy, i was thinking maybe the LTs really kill the low end but when the car runs right, its monsterous low end all the way to 5300rpms when i shift. guess ill start replacing some things like EGR PCV TPS ect. FPR and fuel pump
