The longer the header the more torque it builds. Most people only choose the "Shorty" headers because of :
#1 Cost
#2 Lack of clearance.

I think that if some manufacturer makes a set of Long Ones for your vehicle that just bolt on, then that is the way to go. DynoMax Ceramacoats (abt $215 or so from Jegs or Summit) do the job for me............Not much to gain with a set of shorties, and the price is abt the same........... :cheers:
