i thinkign about getting a set of Pypes Long Tubes... Are Long tubes worth it?.... Also will long tubes make my car louder?

I will be doing install myself so im not worried about the price of the install.

 

i have the pypes long tubes. DEF worth the price i paid for them. ony issue i have is the steering shaft ubolt rubs a little. i just grinded off a little of each edge and its problem free.

 

lol....if ur not to mechianically inclinded...well...they can be VERY frustrating to install yourself

 

headers are worth it but get longtubes, your car will be louder at WOT, but quieter at idle/cruising

 

are shortys the opposite?

 

no, just the power for the work and money isn't worth it. longtubes all the way unless you cant afford a midpipe yet. remember you need to get o2 extenders for longtubes

 

Definitely quieter at idle/cruising[:@]

I wasn't too happy when I basically had to floor it to hear my car. I'm about to get rid of the brand new BBK catted H, and replace it with an OR H.

I would reccommend them still though. I felt a noticable performance improvement.

 

yeah I have long tubes as well. With an off road X and slp lm II. Here is how my car sounds.

I believe LT's are a must!

 

it really quiets the car down that much at idle/cruising?.... if u guys had to say what sounds better at cruising, with longtubes or without?
