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.

i should put this in my sig: my BBK longtubes went in just fine, nothing to cut, nothing to mod, just loosen motor mounts and work your magic
