'84 GT, Longtube or shorty setup?

[EXTRPR50]

Hey guys, I can get a set of hedman long tubes in the box for about 100.00, but Id have to make the rest of the exhaust system right?

Or should I just get the shorty to h-pipe to cat back sytem set up?

I dont think that short h -pipes fit the hedman type headers for my car, or do they?

What would you do?

If you get long tubes, you'll need a specific mid pipe to fit them. You "can" just make them, but that's ghetto. If you're already going to be buying something, just buy the long tubes and the h/x pipe that fits them and get it done right.

if you havent converted to dual exhaust already, you will also need the double hump crossmember and h-pipe hanger, along with the proper muffler and tailpipe hangers. get the longtubes and a short h-pipe, lots of companies make them

Do it right, you'll be happy you did. Since you need to convert to dual exaust anyways, and you have the deal with the the longtubes, why not.

I have longtubes on both cars, and if I acutally have to buy something else, I will go with shorties. There are a bunch to choose from, and more or less, nearly any catted or offroad pipe will bolt up.

I had stockers for awhile, and they were much easier to install and remove. I could have the entire exhaust off the car in 10 minutes. The longtubes took nearly 5 hours to install, and they I had to get pipes made.

I can't see there being any significant power difference unless you get to real big power levels, like 400+.
