There is an Exhaust forum, you know. Just happens these questions are answered there, even the ground clearance one.

So, to the Exhaust forum we go. . .

Re: headers? shorty or long tube

Long tubes are nice, but then its a bitch with ground clearance and then with duals that a bitch to. It can be done, and a FEW people have nice setups. But for the dollar and clearance buy a nice set of dyno dons 1 3/4 shorties. They look and fit awesome.

LTs are a PITA but the power gains are worth it in the end. If you live in a dryer climate then painted won't be so bad. But they will rust pretty quickly once they start getting wet.
