Default type of headers and intermedia

Right now i have equal length shorty headers and an off road h-pipe. I have been thinking of going long tubes and x-pipe. Can anybody tell me the advantages or disadvantages of this? Or atleast let me know what your opinion is.

Thanks

jeep..*L*...also there a pain in the butt to pull starters etc...but as you most likely know equal length are hard on plug wires. some long tubes you have to expriment with where to put the bung holes for the o2 sensor

I'm trying to figure out how s**tty of a car you have if you need to swap starters so much that headers are in the way....

And I'd love to see how a header is tough on spark plug wires......

I suggest you go to a mustang car show or drag race and listen to other peoples cars and find a sound that suits you. then just ask them what they are running.</P>
