    Shorty vs. Longtube headers

    I'm just curious how much of a difference there is between running the shorty headers vs. the longtube headers? Feel free to give me any personal experience you have noticed.

    well the fact is that shorty's don't make enough to pull the stock manifolds. Lt's are the only way to go. Myself and a lot of guys run the Pacesetter Lts and ORY. about 530 but best bank for the buck

    shorty headers are just better looking exhaust manifolds, that sound better too. not much of a flow gain. Long tubes are the way to go, if you can fit them in.

    That's what I figured. I didn't have money at the time so I bought shorty's, but I'm looking for a set of longtubes with an O/R Y. Just curious, what'd you guys do about the rear O2's?

    Get the OBX headers and you can run the rear O2's. And they're stainless steel. They're an all around better header. They also come with resonators that look like cats - nice for inspection time.

    hell why not just have the rear o2's deleted when you get the tune.

    Wasn't sure if he was in the market for a tune and just for safety sake it's nice to have them on their in case of a visual inspection. He can still have them deleted though through a tune but leave them in place.
