Buy long tubes, don't waste your money on shorties. I won't even start the header war conversation...

LG has a new long tube street header that sells for less than his regular long tubes. Suggest you give that some consideration.

I'm thinking I agree here. Shorty headers seem to me, they don't really buy you anything over the stock ones on the car. At the long tubes just by the nature of the long tubes are a little less restictive.

LG or Dynatech seems to be popular choices here.
