long will make a big difference but you will have to get a different matching mid pipe

Scroll down to where it says equal vs. shorty vs. longtube...You wont have any more questions. Long tubes for the win!

the only thing nice about shortys vs. long tubes is the install time. 1-2 hours for shortys and you ahd better set a day aside to complete a long tube install.
