ive heard that shorty headers are worthless?? is this true is there really no power gains at all?

 

power gains are very minimal. If you're gonna spend the money on shorty's. go ahead and pop the extra for longtubes. You will feel the gain in the sea of your pants

 

you are right there really is no power gain, not even much sound change either

 

Longtubes scavenge the exhaust gases better. Longtubes FTW!

 

To further emphasize the point LT FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

to do so, you must increase font size and add bold or other lettering enhancements

Long tubes. Go big, or go home.

 

As Ali G would say: Respek.

 

shorty headers are not as bad as people think they are if you have ever have looked at the stock ones you will understand why anything works better then those. If you get longtubes they will cost you atleast $500 for good ones not worth the money to me.

 

Does it cost about the same to get shorties installed (compared to longtubes b/c of having to drop the k member, etc)?

 

You don't have to drop the k member, you just have to jack the engine up an inch or two. It's not as bad as everone makes it out to be. looking back on it, If I would have paid a couple hundred $$$ for a shop to do that easy of a job I would have been really pissed
