[Rickyll7]

Any one have an idea of how much power can be expected for a
SLP Lt header with SLP o/r x pipe
over
BBK shorties with Bassani o/r x pipe?

Shorty: 1-10(10 is being very generous)
Long Tube: up to 20ish +/-5

its rumored to go shorties with o/r midpipes (backpressure issues) but i cant offer you any insight into that, sorry

Shorties are a waste of time. Just get LT's(if you got the money)and a tubular k.

Yea but if you live in CA you can't havt LT's. So you might as well save your money and leave in the stockers

Well im new here but I give you my opinion. I bought some FRPP shorties and after sitting around for ai while I decided if I was going to do it to go for the long tubes. Keep in mind this was my first mod to my car. After what seemed like a 3 day nightmare come true I finaly got them on and test drove it. I also installed 50 series flows with them. Honestly I did feel a gain in acceleration but not enough for the pain and agony of the installation. I also lost money on selling the shorties. Thinking back now, I would have done the shorties. By the way to this day I still have to retighten the bolts and let me tell you Its a PITA!!!. If your going to do longtubes pay someone to do it.

not legally, but then again youd have to go to a smog place that is really gonna be that anal about looking around the whole engine bay for mods. if you can find a hole-in-the-wall smog shop, they prolly wont notice them at all, theyll just look for cats and vacuum line diagram and make sure you dont have an intake and **** like that.

It always amazes me the people that bash on shorties that have never had them or for that matter headers.

Odds are you'll pick up another 5-15 rwhp from switching from your current setup to LT's.
