POLL: Please vote! Who's interested in a long-tube?

Hello guys. Yet another long-tube header post. I'm curious to see how many of us would be interested in a real Long Tube header, similar to the one I described in my last post. Some of these company's are not getting the business they could if they'd offer this. Please vote, even if you don't care for a long-tube. Thanks guys.

If you're voting that it doesn't matter either way, is it because you're not going to by a header? Thanks

A long tube is probably more for the people who are serious about going fast and making power in these cars. If you're not going to be racing yours, you probably won't have a need for the long tube.

A long tube header are for high rpm, fast reving engines. Basically a race car.

This is weapon r's quote on their site:
"Weapon*R 4-2-1 Race Header Long Tube Design Maximum High RPM Exhaust Flow Stepped Tubing Design for Higher Torque Gains Ideal for all forms of Competition Racing Best for Vehicles with High Lift Cams and High RPM Rev Band 2.5" Collector for High Exhaust Flow Eliminates Catalytic Converter ( NOT 50 State Legal ) Designed with Extensive Research and Devlopement on Weapon*R's Dynapack Dyno.
OFFROAD USE ONLY
NOT LEGAL FOR USE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

MSRP: $750
PART#: 953-206-101"

Long-tubes will outflow shorty headers, and make more power. Once we start getting cams, buying a ported head, maybe doing a blower swap, etc, etc, a long-tube will benefit you more. It just depends how much flow you're going to want for your setup.

I still find it weird on how CTI calls their product a race header(long tube) when it is in 2 pieces. But it does have a long section before the collector. IDK???

That's the most "long-tube" out of the headers available, but still not what I'm looking for.

Yea, I've heard of some issues with that. Plus, I've heard that they did very little R&D before completing the project. I'm beginning to think I'm asking for too much.

I'm not sure. I think CTI can send you a kit that will.
