Long tubes just flow better, but arent always needed
depending on combo.

Regardless of anyone says, LT's will never hurt a set-up but
sometimes the extra expense and headaches involved arent worth it.

Do your research and find a company that makes a set that allows access to the starter and clears components around your block.
