So I see many people that have a full exhuast set up, honestly how much of adifference does having headers make? Regarding sound, performance, and all that? (And im talking bout LT's too)

Long tubes will really make a difference if you have some kind of Forced Induction going into the mix.... Otherwise your looking at maybe an 8 to 10 horse power increase.

They are more for sound than performance IMO. They aren't a bang for your buck mod...

But.....I must say..... Headers so make it easy to swap out those midpipes for a quick catted version for a state inspection..... Check out the Longtubes on the Bumboclaat!

I know a guy on hear...5speedstang. I heard his car in person and it seems like its a lil bit cleaner but not as deep. It sounds better IMO since its cleaner and smoother sounding. Seems as if the tone quieted down a lil bit tho

I've heard it makes your exhaust quieter but a tad deeper. Honestly I would not bother getting them if you are N/A. Plenty of sound to be had with just the catback and midpipe.
