Don't waste your money on short tube headers. They do absolutely NOTHING.

The mid-pipe is subjective. X's give a higher-toned scream while H's give a lower-toned growl. It depends on what you prefer.

hands down go with long tubes...you'll be pissed if you go through all the troubles og getting shorties in there and not even feeling a difference and realizin you only gained 2hp

as for the mid pipes, just like vee eight said, h's give a low rumble, x's have a high raspy sound..keep in mind though, flows sound like total ass with an x pipe... check youtube for exhaust vids

good luck!
