Vfast and I are right. you dont see that much of a difference. also with everything he has said is also true. and with unequal shorties they flow better since htey are a straight thru design when matched with a offroad Hpipe.

just wrapping your shorties will out flow the LT and still have $$$$ left over...and several hours to do what's important....drink beer

Hey vfast, you proved it for me! However, I never said the difference was mind boggeling, fuggers [8D].
So technically I was correct, LT's do outflow shorties. Again, I never said it was by a whole lot.

In the end it all depends on the application and what you want from your vehicle. Of course LT's arent going to do that much compared to shorties on a stock vehicle, but after a major power adder you will benefit from the LT's. LT's give more room to grow. Also Vfast, you can wrap LT's too .

With the help of my cousin, we got the LT's and shorty H-pipe installed within 3 hours. As for the money issue. If I bought the shorties I would have paid almost the same price. The longer H-pipe was more expensive. The price of my short H-pipe nulified the slightly higher cost of the LT headers. Free shipping and discounts > you.

Plus my LT's hang down and look real purdy! w00p!
