Hi Aggie,

These are longer than "shorty" headers, but not at as long as long tube (LT) headers. I see you have a 3.8 in the F-Body. With LS1, the LTs will really open up the performance.

they are commonly referred to as exhaust manifolds. They are the tubes which the exhaust comes out of on the side of the Cylinder heads (which sit on top of the pistons (where the valves/springs/lifters/are on a engine. They typically add some HP and torque to the mix. Companies like SLP state that their long tube headers add up to 40HP /almost 60lb-ft torque. Here's a site: SLP 30053 SLP 1 3/4'' Tuned/Long Tube Headers, 2001-2002 - 30053 SLP Performance Parts

You'd be best served to go with LT headers if you had an LS1 in the Camaro compared to the others (shorty/mid-length)_....there can be some EPA impacts to going this route (harder to pass emissions from the visual inspection perspective). The biggest reason being that catalytic converters are not supposed to be removed or moved from their stock location. LTs make this difficult to do (well, more like impossible. Not to mention they are about $1,000.
