Difference in Headers

In long tube Headers. Is there really that much performance difference between Brands? Using the same size tubes. Thanks gang. Kona Blue

American Racing Headers are true long tubes, only full length ones out there.

You said the American Racing are the "only full length" header what are the dimensions of those? Compared to those of Stainless works. Or another claimed long tube?

There are only two things IMHO baring tube size and if it fits your application of course. This would go for Long tube or short tube headers. First would be the build quality and second if they are tuned or not. I would not purchase a non-tuned header, not worth it, but that's just me. Otherwise all headers are about the same. I have seen some knock off's put the quality of name brands to shame so, it’s not always top brands that give you the best bang for the buck.
