Equals, Unequals, or Longtubes

dmac45 · June 17th, 2008, 01:42 AM

Looking to buy some new headers tomorrow, I just took off some long tubes off and since i had to cut them up to get them off i dont think i want to try putting some on. What do u guys think are the best performance wise?

BBK ceramic coated un-equal shorties get my vote!

if your dead set on not putting long tubes on it ,equal length shorties will be your best bet

WildWill · June 19th, 2008, 04:26 PM

why did you take the longtubes out in the first place?

I took the long tubes out because they rusted out where it connects to the h pipe broke when i hit a speed bump.

I went with bbk unequal shortys bcuz thats all that was in stock where i went and a new o/r h pipe.

the headers arent all that bad to put on, you might have to mess with the steering and loosen up the motor and move it around to get them in but put more L/Ts on it, shorties are a waste of money since they hardly scavenge what so ever, bassani makes mid lengths but i hear they tend to leak, puttin on L/Ts is just time consuming and might scrap your knuckles a little, and to get the tranny out with L/Ts you might have to take loose the header again

u dont have to mess with steering or loosen the motor at all on 94-95's
