get long tubes

 

What I have seen is that shorties seem to show up on the torque curve on your dyno pulls. I have friends that insist on shorties no matter what, and they are producing crazy numbers 450-550rwhp. The last insane car I saw pulled 625rwhp on shorties, X-pipe, high flow cats and the obligatory they ain't doing any good but I'm putting them on anyways single chambered flow's (why they are called mufflers I have no idea). Anyways, it always seems to be a personal preference with these things. I think you can run big numbers with either. Long tubes for me are the way to go, they are more difficult to install but that's what I like. But, don't feel like you cannot move up to the next level with shorts, they make some great performers.

 

Whichever you choose.Watch out for bottoming out.If your car is lowered,youmay run into [/align]problems.Hooker makes a good long tube header that works great if your car is lowered.[/align]

 

awesome, awesome. as i previously stated i appreciate everyones answers - like i said at least this forum people aren't jackasses on here. so thanks

 

long tubes.. and no unless you have a 4inch drop you are not going to hit them

 

honestly in the end they are both headers and & are better than the stock manifolds. long tubes make more power, but not a lot more. On any FI application i doubt the difference in headers is gonna be something thats very noticeable but i just feel that long tubes are something that makes my car different from all the old 5.0 with shorties (and i love the foxes just sayin i like bein different), its more of a preference but lt's will make better power not alot, but it'll be there. its also worth bein a PITA in my opinion i dont think you will ever say. . . "Man i wish didnt do lt's"
