short tube vs long tube

Mustang RacR94 · February 25th, 2007, 07:09 PM

whats the performance and sound diffrence between the two, im pretty sure the longtubes give u more HP gains but just wandering

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 07:22 PM

8-10 for short
16-20 for long
short give no sound change
long give a deeper rumble and better sound.

I heard the difference wasnt much at all...Justin at VMP said its not really worth the money unless your car is pushing serious power....reason why i didnt buy that Longtubes this morning for 125

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 08:09 PM

Lt headers give a good amount of power def. a good mod.

97stanger · February 25th, 2007, 08:15 PM

wheres a good place to get long tube headers? are they a direct bolt up? or does some other shit need to be changed?

02ponypackage · February 25th, 2007, 08:17 PM

better torque on the top end and sound....talk to Justin at VMP with future plans for your car and stuff he will def. help u out...and he doesnt try to sell u nething 321-206-9369 and if ur ready get a tune by them...I saw them dyno a stock GT500 then tuned it to 500rwhp....it made 430rwhp stock....until he tuned it for the guy....and thats with nothing added pretty nice

lol... my luck. wont work on the 98 v6. hey i want acceleration... and it says the shorty headers add acceleration... and it doesn't say the longs do anything. whats the deal with that?

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 11:43 PM

ummm shorties add acceleration never heard that, but with a 98 you have to get shorties. If you want acceleration get gears.

justinsstang · February 26th, 2007, 12:01 AM

im sure someone makes long tube headers lol... a guy told me yesterday that lower gears arent always better, and it can mess stuff up, and actually sometimes is slows you down... is that true? he said go with 3.73 over 4.10

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 12:25 AM

no they won't mess anything up and 4.10's are faster. 3.73 is more of a street gear 4.10s are a drag gear and no one but mac makes lt's for the v6

justinsstang · February 26th, 2007, 12:28 AM

that is IT GREENFALEEN!!!!!!! GIVE ME YOUR MSN I HAVE QUESTIONS

lol

97stanger · February 26th, 2007, 12:29 AM

why the hell cant you put long tubes on a convertible??? whats so different? its pissing me off. no one carries them for convertibles.

justinsstang · February 26th, 2007, 12:35 AM

i drive my car every day to school/work and i live outside of town. how much gas mileage loss am i talking for 4.10's. very important... it depends on if i get them now or like 2 years from now when i move in to town when im 18 and live on my own. we dont have a drag strip where i live really. closest one is in Sikeston, about 40 minutes away from me.

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 12:35 AM

something about a k member ask cricket he knows better than me.

sry I just have aim

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 12:36 AM

justinsstang · February 26th, 2007, 12:40 AM

97stanger · February 26th, 2007, 12:42 AM
