Shorties give you almost 0 gain

LT's give some good gains, and a better sound

long tubes help the flow of the gases calm down before dumping them in with the rest of the gases... where as shorties don't have that much room...

equal lenght shorties give the gases a smoother flow and will alow for better acceleration
