longtubes & plugs
- Thread starter The O.G.
- Start date
It's not much of an issue with the plugs, well no more than with shorties. The problem lies in the starter more than plugs, They wrap around the starter so it gets REALLY hot i had trouble keeping a starter in my car, so i went with shorties, power loss was TINY and i gained more torque so i'm happy with it. As for the braces someone else can chime in i'm not sure but i've never heard of anyone having problems with them.
If you have a problem with your starter, invest the money in a Denso gear reduction starter. It's smaller, and will start anything. 1.7Kw starting power. I swapped, and never had a starter problem again. They sell them at Advance for like $170 I think.

More difficult, not really, no.
I think losing the smog equipment made the passenger side a whole heck of a lot easier to do though.
I haven't had any problems with my LT's heating up my starter and having it not work? FWIW, I have MAC 1 5/8" ceramic coated tubes.

I wrapped my starter just so I don't have to worry about it. And I had clearance issues with my x brace so I bent it.
