I dont know about making 20 extra horspower just through headers but they would definatly be a help.Mac, BBK, or Hooker supercompetition headers would be what I would go with. If I were you when you get the long tube headers make sure they are ceramic coated.

LTs always are a better choice, so long as you can fit them into your car. I know that putting LTs on my 2000 GT was a complete bitch when it came time to tighten the bolts.

Longtubes CAN give 20+ hp on a stock engine, MORE on a modded. Shorties on a stock motor are usually worth only around 5 hp or so.

you guys read that article in MM&FF they dyno tested long tubes vs shorties and there was only a difference of a few hp so the only real difference is sound
