Default exhaust redo



How far down do long tube headers hang? Reason being is I want to upgrade the suspension. The set-up I am getting will lower the car 1.5 inches in front and 1.25 inches in the rear. If I buy long tubes am I going to be scraping the ground?</P>


I am currently looking at mac long tubes with either a mac catback or a slp loudmouth catback setup and dropping my magnaflows. What kind of sound difference do these systems have versus the magnaflows?</P>

crap, that'll probably cause some scraping then. Lots of potholes in Memphis. </P>


Do you get a big performance increase with shorty headers? Everything I read says you don't get the low end torque improvement with shorty's</P>

Shorties are great for TQ, not so great for upper RPM hp where long tubes kick ***.
