bottom line is you picked up an h-pipe for longtube headers when you should of got an h pipe for shorie style headers.

long tube headers are for high rpm and high hp cars but most people get them for sound and you did get a h pipe for long tube headers

well i was planning on getting some ceramic long tubes, what kind of hp are we talking about for the best results of them? Or is it good for all rpm ranges?
