Shorty or Longtube Header???? Need help

k, well i found a shorty header. I know they get less gains on these cars. But is the gain that much that i should look for another header (longtube). Like say ZZP shorty vs clearimage longtube. What would be the difference in gains compared to each other. Does anyone have dyno numbers or have either of those setups on their cars?

A shorty header will give you more of a gain in the high rpms. Its really about where you want your powerband to be. And pricing of course.

i think shorties should be left for people planning on doing valvetrain and expanding upwards in the rpms, long tubes have proven to show the best gains, mine definitely felt much better than my CA shorty header ever did. Catless downpipe isn't going to help very much, and is going to be a great deal louder and you'll be wishing you had your cat once its gone
