Default Shorties vs LTs





i want to know all the difference between shorties and lt headers, the advantages and disadvantages of performance and ease of installation. I know lts are a pain from experience, are shorties just as bad? overall, are lts better than shorties for a daily driver? (i have o/r x-pipe and side mufflers)
thanks

LTs you'll get more hp and a better sound. They are so much harder to install, though. Shorties are worthless. Keep the money and get gears.

then there is no reason that u shouldnt do a lt install, they are better in every aspect of performance, except installation. so get em they are worth every penny

Finally, a thread that didn't **** me off when I read the post about headers. Go to this website and read it top to bottom: headersbyed.com/bildbetr/htm dont copy and paste...type letter for letter. You'll get some edumication about shortys vs. long tube. Thank you everybody for basically saying shortys suck and lt headers are the way to go! Lt headers will give you bottom-end power, torque, and will give you a deeper, more agressive sound.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO HAVE THE LONG TUBE HEADERS INSTALLED?

Its free when you do it yourself. About $500 when you take the easy way.
