Default 98 GT Stock Headers

This might be a dumb question to some of you, but it's something I don't know. I'm going to do a h-pipe with a cat-back exhaust system. I found these h-pipes to sound the most to my liking, now the question is. Are the stock headers long/short/(some other size)? I have not changed the headers(they are stock). They don't really give ANY information on the product.

SHORT TUBE H-PIPE - http://www.macperformance.com/store/...Product_ID=246

stock headers are short, there are aftermarket headers that are short too though. both can be used with the "short tube h pipe".

i would say that if you want to do the mid pipe you should wait and get the long tubes at the same time. Do it right the first time is what i say =]

Yeah, I'm going to go with long tube headers, but getting $1,000 for Christmas. I guess I can try to find some headers off craigslist or something. Anyways, thanks for the help!
