you don't have to lift the motor on my car...but i'm guessing you would on the OHC GT, just because there is so little room. i've heard long tubes aren't that much better, i just like the way they look.</P>

LOL

Someone's never heard of "power under the curve". MID LENGHTS offer over 20 ft lbs/horses over shortties, and longs are better than mids!

Preach on brother Jeep. <IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">Long tubes are IMMENSELY better than shorties. You get much better results from long tubes, and a considerable torque boost over shorties. Overall shorties are crap and IMO not worth the money spent. Get long tubes. You won't be disappointed.

Shorties are a waste, Longtubes are the best, but Mid-lengths are not far behind.</P>

Cuat and weld.....take it to a shop.

But, it would be MUCH smarter to get an X pipe or Pro Chamber.
