Default EQUAL LENGTH SHORTIES OR LONG TUBE HEADERS???

I'm going to replace my headers on my 87 gt when Ido the h/c work.Right now ive got mac e/l shorties, which need replacing because of rust nickel plated.Which would be best as far as power and torque or is there much difference at all.

actully longtubes will make a big difference in midrange torque. pretty much all headers are gonna eventually rust so might be a option to just stick w/what u got

Unless there are holes on yours...keep them.
If you have to buy new ones get longtubes if budget allows.
But...remember that with longtibes you will need a different h or x pipe.
