LONGTUBES!!! Especially with those cams. Even without the cams after i put my lt's on i noticed an immediate increase in tq. Shorties are a waste of metal and money. Flotechs are only like 250 or something like that. You can find lt's pretty cheap you just gotta look. Or save a little for a while.

i guess that means long tubes

 

[ky_kneedragger]

ya know i think i might just go with long tubes...lol

Not only do they add more power but with long tubes your car will sound sweet. I used to have BBK shorties with BBK O/R x-pipe, and know that i have the longtubes and h-pipe, i think it used to sound like ****.

 

[blckstng96]

they shouldnt even make shorties for our cars because they are that pointless.

One thing of advise...... when you get your headers i would paint them with some rustolem. I have had mine for a few years now, and they are shot... i would have got something else but just like everyone else i was broke and just got them and threw them on... They are ********* looking (not like you can see them very easy) but thats just my .02

It will take you no time to paint them and save you alot of trouble in the long run

my long tubes will be here tomorrow

I think my shorties sound awesome I couldnt afford new Xpipe to fit the LTs so had to get shorties. Installed them when I put the new heads on, the easy way Isnt the air going in more important than air going out anyways!!
