Default Question on Headers

I see so much on headers on the forum and have some questions.

1. Whats the difference between long and short headers?

2. What type of horsepower gain can one expect addiding headers with basically a stock car?

I am sure everyone has their own opinion on which ones are best but for a daily driver what would everyone recommend for headers?

What other upgrades would go well with headers? I have an aftermarket exhaust from the cats back.

In your last thread, you said you were installing turbos. If that's the case, the kit will come with it's own exhaust manifolds.

Haha. Well, if that's the case, start researching the drivetrain upgrades to handle all that new power.
