Long Tube vs Shorty
Ok guys I know I'm a nube and this is a really dumb question but here goes. What are the differences between the long tube, and shorty headers and what are the differences in performance gains sound etc.

Shorties will bolt up to stock mid pipe and exhaust. Not worth much gains IMO. With LTs you'll need to purchase a mid pipe, catted or not, to make it work. LTs will get you hp gain and I would recommend a CAI followed by a tune for the biggest gain.
