me n my friend were just havin this conversation today about wats better short pipe headers or long pipe headers..wats ur opinion?? we are tryin to determime which will put out more power

 

Just my opinion, But i like the shortys better. They are easier to install than long tubes.

 

Either length, properly tuned headers are optimal.

Short headers tuned for your engine are going to put out more power then a set of long untuned headers, but if you are buying a set of production headers - long tend to give more low end torque.

 

I put the hooker Hooker 2210's which weren't too hard to put on really. After a few clearance issues on the K-Frame and Starter, I would do them again any time.

 

I prefer the shorties. Easier to work with.

 

Basically I wanted the Long Tubes as I am running a Mufflex Y-Pipe and 4 inch exhaust. I am trying to keep down on the restrictions. It is a matter of personal preference on what people like thought.

 

What about tuned long tubes?

you get the best of both worlds, more low end torque and more top end power.
