I have never used Summits' exhaust components. I used their MAF and it worked well. However, like they say, you get what you pay for.

Very true. My summit MAF ended up being a PRO-M.

Long tubes tend to make their power up at the top end, where as shorties tend to make more power down low.

As far as branding goes, Id opt for a better brand. If you have to save your pennies. Plan ahead also, pick something that will work best for your ideal set up.
