headers

ok i was looking at headers. is it true that long tube headers will increase HP by 20? also i can't seem to find H-pipes that will fit long tube headers, only full length H-pipes.

RE: headers

RE: headers

but isn't that just a waste of time performance wise? i thought that long tubes give the best performance?

RE: headers

Its not worth the hassel to put in long tubes if your not doings heads/cam. Yes it will give you more power, but not by much with just bolt ons.

RE: headers

heh you only have 1 cam. But yeah if you are planning to do a full build then go with the long tubes. I have shorties and a catted mid x and im going to end up swapping it out for LT's with an O/R x
