Long tubes r going to be ur best gains.

Long tubes or keep the manifolds, shortys aren't even worth the trouble installing on a mod motor.

All you need to know is do long tubes or don't do them at all.

Either buy a shorty mid pipe specifically made for long tube headers, or just keep what you have for now and don't do headers at all.

Long tube headers will make great power and improved throttle response. Obviously Stainless steel is the best available material as it will not rust!

Stainless also has much lower thermal conductivity than other steels, which helps reduce under hood temperatures--more important than not rusting to me...
