Default Exhaust

What is better on foxes, shortys or long tube headers (shortys would be unequal length, none of that equalizing crap for me) which one would i see all around better performance (i already have /= shortys [/= is unequal])

Default RE: Exhaust

long tube headers will give you the best power but are the hardest to install and you will have a lot less ground clearance. i had a pair for a couple months and loved the power but after putting the car on a lift i realized that the lower tubes were getting crushed and took them off in favor of some performance shorty's.

i would go with long tube if you will run at the track(easier to unbolt for open headers)

Shorties for ease of install and for lower power numbers ie. stock n slightly modified. Long tubes are for higher horsepower cars and clearance is an issuedepends wat ull sacrafice and wat u want ur car for.
