so I got a free pair of bbk shorty headers should I install or just buy a set of long tubes? will short tubes add any diffrence in sound or hp gains?

shortys are probably louder..but the longtubes are deeper sounding.

just use what you got

Long tubes are better but unless your putting out more than 350 horse to the wheeks or better you don't need them

Longtubes tend to be quieter but you see better gains with them

shorties tend to be louder and the gains a minimally less unless you have a beefed up motor. Shorties also fit to your stock h pipe and longtubes don't

Lol, I always find it funny that people refer to sound while determining between headers, LT > shorties.....everytime.

long tubes are rated to give you 5 more hp, but i've heard alot of ppl complain about installing them, i've got shortys on my stang and i'm happy with them, plus for free, i'd go with the shortys. not to interupt the thread but for high horsepower engines which would be a better choice?

longtubes and aod(e), its a joke, no fun.
i got equal lengths, if i have a 5 speed i would have went long tubes.
