Yes long tubes are worth the extra $ over shorties. They will be good for 12 - 16 rwhp with your set up.is the price worth the difference... any true numbers vs.?
dyno or et?
are long tubes too much flow if not changing intake (real intake, I have CAI ), cams, etc..
any info. greatly appreciated.
I had to on mine. I installed JBA's.Do I need to drop motor mounts to install?
O2 is in the collector, not just one tube?
Thanks for the advice.
I put SLP long tubes w/ x-pipe & love it , very good SOTP feel -the best fitting headers I have ever had, only 2 hrs. to install on my back -no lift
Correction to my reply about the 02 in the tube of shorties. It is in the collector but in one maybe two brands I examined it covered one of the tubes so it might as well have been welded into the tube.I had to drop the right motor mount & undo the steering shaft. The O2 is in the collector not just one tube. If you buy the header kit it comes w/ O2 extensions & gaskets.
my buddy agrres with this, luckily he bought his used and he said didnt notice a difference in driving or the dyno(or very marginal).shorties are a waste of $$ for an S197, IMO. they dont net you much gain. the stock manifolds flow pretty well, so go long tube or go home.
How much do long tube headers change the sound of an exhaust?
LT headers will help put out an awesome sound. you will hear more clearly each individual cylinder and have a crisp deep rumble at idle. i cant wait to afford some mods.
As far as power, the Shorties and LT dont compare. You may get 3-5 hp with shorties, but a well tuned LT setup can produce 20+ hp on the dyno. I know a local guy with LT, OR pipe and a JLT, steeda pulleys, that puts out around 315RWHP.
