hey guys just had a quick question. i have x pipes installed on my car along with exhaust ( magnaflow catback ) . I wanna change out my headers. Would it be better to go with shorties or should i change the set up go with long tubes and get a shorty x pipe ? also with headers installed is it required to get a tune or should i be fine cuz right now i can tell im running rich. im not too sure how the car would run with a set of headers installed. Also what are some prices that shops charge to put a set of headers in?

As for motor mounts ? worth it or not? and where can i find some decent ones online?

thanks for the help everyone

If your under 400rwhp then I would leave the stock engine mounts. I like my long tubes but they are a pain to put in, and make almost impossible to work on the tranny, with out removing them first.
