long tube headers
#11
What does GTFO stand for?
my car is a daily driver so i'm looking to improve the street performance of my car. I was thinking about long tube headers because i'm looking at comp cams stage 1 and i was reading that other people recommend long tube headers. Do you think that tuned equal length shorty headers would be better for what i'm trying to do?
thanks for all the info so far.

LTs won't hurt street performance.

I wish i had gone with longtubes instead of shorties, I'll definitely be making the switch in the future. Macs will run under $500, kooks with a midpipe will usually run between $1100-1400 depending on whether you want cats or not. Personally I'll spend the money on a stainless exhaust but thats not for everyone. As far as install, any header is a pain in the ***. You either have to jack the motor or drop the k, if not both. With the stock k member, you just dont have a lot of room and it can be very difficult to get to many of the bolts. With a tubular k it might be a different story, bit otherwise most shops will call this an 8+ hour job.

Long tubes make great power across the entire RPM range due to the long smooth bends of the primaries which then open into a large collector.

If you're gonna get the sss catback you're gonna want a shorty mid pipe with cats or it will most likely sound like ****. Also I would wait to get the mid pipe and get a matching mid pipe for the headers you decide to get. You don't really want to try to mix and match a mid pipe with longtubes, tend to get lots of fitment issues from my experience and some other users on here from what i can remember.

Or am I misunderstanding what kind of midpipes can have a cat in it?
