short headers or long tube ?

you could swap out in an hour if you have no trouble w/ the bolts.... long tube h-pipes are much much easier since they are so much smaller, and the o2's are in the headers...so your just dealing w/ the pipe

for short headers ? maybe closer to 2 hours but depends if your good at it and how crappy the bolts are to r&r

I have the Pypes off road X and I like the sound, even through the stock mufflers. The "X" just makes more since if you race and the "H" if you just want a sound. I've got Summit headers as well. Can't help with emissions Nebraska has no testing yet, so all my smog stuff is gone.
