OK, so im curious, what is the difference in price/performance/PITA to install between LT's, Shorty equal length, and regular shorty's?

 

This is my opinion, so others will see differently, but:

If you want easier, go w/ unequal shorties. Good hp gains, still have plug clearance, etc. If you want all the hp you can get out of an exhaust upgrade, go long tubes. They will be more problematic if you have to pull your tranny, engine, etc. Equal length shorties are not worth the hassle. You'll hate changing plugs, the gains aren't much more than unequal shorties, and for the hassle, you may as well get longtubes.

 

Is there very much of a difference in HP between the Unequal and the LT's?

 

Yes there is gonig to be a difference.... the peak numbers may not be too far away from each other, but when you look at it across the entire rpm rang, you'll see typically the long tubes do alot better overall (which is what matters)

 

go with just the unequal lengths.....a mild engine won't see any REAL benifit maybe 1-2 hp at the top end and what is most of your driving?..low to mid range

 

Long tubes will cost you a little back-pressure on an engine that's not very built...If you're mostly stock unequal shorties will be just fine. Longtubes sound a little better, also. Remember they're also illegal in some states.

 

let me give him this fact I run a set of equal length of my 306 s/c and make over 500 at the wheel
