I dont understand??
Why do most people think that long tubes are sooo much better then shorty headers. I was reading a article on long vs. short and it said that long only made a couple more hp and when you got into the 380 and up hp it really was better. So what i am saying is if you dont have close to 400 hp then you miht as well save th extra money and go with shortys.

i know what ur referring to, not the actual article but the concept, but also different motors react differently to this sort of thing, if it was on a 4.6l gt then i say save a little and go with the shorties

I have shorties on my car. I didnt install them, they were on the car when I got it, but the guy who had it before me said they opened it up way more. My car also sounds a lot deeper than most with the same exhaust setup I have, minus headers. I get a lot of compliments on how good my car sounds.
