That's kinda backass-wards. L/T's are more difficult to fit w/ an auto.

The real question is what are your mods. Unless you have a highy modified car (at least H/C/I), stroker, or blower, you don't need L/T's.

yea you could even loose power and you'd loose a whole lot of low-end torque if you don't have more than a slightly modded car

long tubes are nothing but trouble bro.. get the equal length shorties or plain shortys. long tubes present clearance issues too.

I WOULD SAY THAT THE LONGS SOUND BETTER BUT I WOULD ONLY PUT THEM ON IF RUNNIN AUTO TRANS

Most of the time you can't put long tibes on a car that is an auto tranny!

Im getting some BBK Shorty headers. Im getting regular shorties. Dont even think about getting long tube headers because they are a bitch to put in and they are a tight fit.
I got some that I borrowed from a friend to see how they fit on my 90gt and they hit the firewall and sht, I was like *** that!! Regular Shorties are good enought. Plus if you get long tube dont even think about lowering your car! That way if you get the shorties, lowering it 2in. wont be a problem.

BTW what are you going to run for mid-pipe. If your going no cat then O/R X-pipe, but if your going to run with cat then H-pipe.
