Default long headers v/s short headers

Whats the main difference between long headers and short headers(perfomance, sound, liability). I have a 2002 gt stock and i want to know that before starting modding my exhaust line.

LT are gonna be more expensive but will be a greater investment. people all the time r switchin from short to long..

long will give u much better perfoamnce gains..as well as a louder/deeper sound

^^all of this is true, but to have LT headers you will need a shorty midpipe, and also several LT headers are manual trans. only.....so make sure to look into that before you buy if you have an auto stang

good luck finding what you need
