Default Long tubes or shorties?

I finally found long tube headers for my 95 GT which are $268. Summitt sells shorties for $89. Does it make a big difference in performance/sound?

longtubes sound better, and flow better, but they tend to get in the way, while shorties still flow great and give you clearence you need.
