Shorty headers will give you more TQ and Longtubes will give you more HP? What will Middies give you?

I'm probably gonna get some bbk or bassani shorties, but id like to know the pros and cons of middies...

I never heard that about the LT headers and the shorties. Good to know though. I'm getting the Bassani mid lengths just so I don't have the clearance issues that that the LT headers give you.

Mids I have heard are great, but hard to match up, because theres not alot of companys that make them, as most stick to LT's & Shorty's.

I would not waste my time on shorties...They are just as much work to put the shorties on as the longtubes are...

Look at a set of shorties and then look at a set of longtubes...Which do you think will flow better?

The longtubes were awesome when I was N/A but when I put the blower on it just made it so much more fun...

Its up to preference truthfully...

But unfortunatly, with emmisions some of us gotta get shorty's. And besides I don't think they make a shorty MRT H-pipe either.

Aren't mids still emissions friendly??? I think that's part of the reason they exist. They give you some performance of LT's, but still pass emissions... I think...

The only thing special about the MRT-h is that it is stainless steel. That's it!

Thats why I like it man, because winter weather kills the aluminum exhausts.

I'm not sure. They could be, but not enough people have them to find out.

To be honest I don't know either. I never bothered to check.

i would also like to know the pros and cons of midlegths, i was thinking about getting some because with how low my car is I would not be able to put LT's on.

Hmmm... that can pose a problem. What is the lowest I can lower my car with out having clearence issues??? Here is the the suspension kit I was planning on getting this winter/spring.

Will this be an issue with LT's???

Ya know what I just realized too, I don't even know how much it lowers my car. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know???

$2263.42? I think you may be able to use that as a laundry list and piece it together yourself for cheaper. You may also want to look into coilovers instead.

I have no idea how low you can lower a car with LT headers. I wouldn't think much more than 1.5" but I'm just guessing. Just avoid speed bumps at all cost.

[weems]

shit , i have to avoid speedbumps now , if i put LT's on my car they would just sit on the ground...

Damn.....almost wondering if im glad that Ive got shorties

Thats why i'm gonna get shorty's. LT's prevent you from being able to lower the car, pass emissions, Smog tests(even though I don't have those here), etc...Just too many complications imo.
