Default RE: headers......whats the difference?

unequal length shorts = about 5 hp
equal length shorts = 7-10 hp
long tubes = about 20 hp

no clearance issues w/ long tubes, my car has eibach lowering springs and i never scrape. the only issue you might have is if the stock motor mounts are weak, the headers could bump on the frame, and you need to replace the mounts, just get new ones and do it anyways.
