It's more than just a horse or two. By how much I can't recall but I do have a friend that switched from shorty to long tubes and he said the difference was night and day. With shortys you may loose some torque down low but make it back up at mid to top end. Long tubes make power all around low to mid to top end. I have shorys now and am considering switching to long tubes.GRGT1994 said:By more power, are we talking a horse or two more? My a$$ dyno just can't detect that. So are we talking noticable difference on the road (I don't hit the drags)?
The horse power difference is margina. Equals do make more power than unequal un the less.matthiasj said:is there a big difference in equal and unequal length headers?
GRGT1994 said:I'm planning on upgrading the H pipe with a high flow one when I do the headers anyway (with cats, I like to keep her legal). So would you definitely recommend the long headers then?
I'm looking at MACs, and the difference in price looks like about $160 at 50Resto. That's comparing an unequal shorty and H with long and H.
Would I be stupid to go with the shorties if the price difference is that small?
Also, what about installation? I've heard that long tube headers are a bear to install.
Any opinions on the sound/tone of long headers compared to shorty?
By the way, my ride is a basically stock 94 GT convertible. The only bolt on I have yet is a Flowmaster Am. Thunder cat back. I'm also thinking bout 3.73 gears (maybe 4.10s), pullies, and a CAI while the car sits in the garage this winter.
