What do u guys think i should do i alrdy have full suspension.

Ask your parents for a gift certificate that you can apply to your purchase of long tube headers ...

Dolbs4082 · December 15th, 2009, 01:26 PM

+1... get a gift card. cause shorties wont ad very much at all (i have them haha)

UPRNewEdge · December 15th, 2009, 01:27 PM

ha okay.. ima try and get long tubes out of them do u think it will make a huge diff getting longtubes on a blown GT ?

weems · December 15th, 2009, 01:31 PM

I would go with the TB & Plenum if you can't get longtubes.

+1...TB and plenum on a centri setup should get you a nice gain for less dough and less labor

......def get long tubes down the road though

UPRNewEdge · December 15th, 2009, 01:44 PM

okay i can afford the professional products TB & Plenum and also a battery relocation kit.. does this sound like a food plan guys ?

wishIhada5.0 · December 15th, 2009, 01:47 PM

those are decnt pieces from what I hear...I dont know what your track rules are or even if you plan on runnin at the track but I've been told that if you move the battery you have to run an external electric shut off switch...

I agree, Id do TB and Plenum before headers in general. Your car is definatley chocked off being blown and the stock 65mm TB and plenum. You should get a C&L Plenum with a 75mm Throttle Body before headers bro.

But since thats not the answer to your question, yes you will see a gain with the shorties, especially being supercharged. And plus the stock cast iron exhaust manfolds weigh a lot. But, since you already need to drop the K member for shorties, might as well get some Longtubes. Definatley more money, but much better gain HP wise.

UPRNewEdge · December 15th, 2009, 03:01 PM

ha i will.. got all the powerrr needed but shitty exterior

i need to start making more mula.
