Default Re: Help with Headers

Thanks
Long tubes are the way to go but not very fun to install (actually not that bad if you pull the K-frame...just ask BiteMark46)

as you so aptly put it, shorties have short tubes, long tubes have...umm...long tubes. (sorry...couldnt help it). i dont have numbers off hand, but long tubes tend to give better power and torque. 1 5/8 should do very well for you.

if you want to go with long tubes have them cancel the x-pipe you ordered and change it out with the BBk x-pipe designed for long tubes...it shouldnt be a problem and will cost less for shipping
