shortie versus long tube headers
I got a 95 with shortie coated headers, and cat back borla exhaust. I'm thinking about changing to T.P.I.S. long tube headers and no cats. What do you think? Will it be worth the money? I'm cocerned about it being to loud. What are the performance advantages and disadvantages between Shortie and long tube headers? I'm running a 383.

From what I've been told, the shorties are pretty much the same as the stock manifolds, they just look better.

Re: shortie versus long tube headers (Mr Mojo)
on a normal car, removing the stock exhaust manifolds and installing headers gives 10-15hp. But with a 383, i bet it'd free up more.
