Long tubes are better for more power, but not smog legal. I think almost every brand of shorties are emissions legal. Either way, both are incredible PITA to install with a notch higher to the long tubes. Honestly though, any good brand header,shortie or full length, is going to be better then the stock manifolds.

With the motor out, as in my case, are the long tubes easy to install? I mean, can you just bolt them to the motor and drop it in like the shorties I had?

IMO shorties are a waste of time. Go long tubs or go home. The 3 hp shorties give you are not worth the PITA it is to install em

Shorties show virtually no gain on a boltons only car.
