Another thing to consider is the heat from longtube headers. Considering how tightly they often fit, a lot of the time they can lead to melting wires or suspension bushings, or even causing the transmission to overheat. Long tube headers should only really be used in vehicles with a lot of space to work with. Seen several bad reviews of parts because it never occured to them that having the hottest part of your car right next to it might be a bad idea.

Not sure if I agree that shorties would be easier to install than long tubes. Just finished installing a set of stainless works long tubes on my car. The fitment was great and they slid right in with no problem or clearance issues. A couple bolts were a little annoying to get at, but those were the same bolts that were annoying to get at when I was taking off the factory log manifolds, and they'd be the same deal with shorties. Install ease I would honestly say is a wash between the 2. Feeling the difference of the long tubes to anyone considering headers and who doesn't have emissions or a lowered car to deal with I would honestly recommend just forgetting about the shorties and go straight to long tube headers. Honestly the difference is insane, my first drive after the header install caught me off guard. Car feels like a totally different machine!

I’m still researching to decide which headers are best for me and my car.

Marco The headers on each side are designed so that each blast of burned gas (referred to as a pulse) creates a vacuum behind it pulling the next pulse along at the collector (the cone where the pipes meet). The length and diameter of the pipes determine the speed of each pulse, generally the larger the pipe the better power BUT at a higher RPM so less off the line. In other words a 1and 7/8 inch pipe would make power suited to a torque motor and a 2 and 1/4 inch pipe would match a high revving cammed beast. @@marcozr3138

I opted for stainless shorty headers on my Foxbody. Long tubes are a pain in the ass to install and work around. Exhaust work in general makes my knuckles bleed, and sometimes I'll curse loudly in my driveway. Don't need any more of that. Foxbody cars are generally very simple and even these cars will give you headaches with steering shaft clearance and general fitment, I imagine they must be even worse on a newer chassis. Long tubes sound nice, though, and give a modest torque boost across most of the range, so they are ideal if you can handle the drawbacks.

Long tube headers offer more torque and hp through the entire rpm range. Shorties are better then stock but not as good at any rpm as long tubes. You left out exhaust pulse benefits that shorties don’t offer. Also the collector tube plays a role as well. Lengthening the tubes raises the portion of the curve below peak and reduces the portion above peak torque; shortening them has the reverse effect.

Wouldn’t short tubes benefit all forced induction motors? Boost is just a measurement for restriction. I understand the theory for turbo vehicles.

I lost a pound of boost on my lighting when I put long tubes on it. I’ve also noticed that a lot of overhead cam motors that do not have variable valve timing do not respond well to long tubes.

Considering you rarely use RPMs higher than 4000 for any reasonable amount of time on the street and sometimes not even on the racetrack, where you have to get slow down and accelerate up to speed oh, a lot of that low end torque and horsepower is quite usable with Shorty headers. Which, in my experience give you all but that last little bit of very high-end performance with long tube headers. But you lose everything else for that little bit at the top end. Shorty headers have come a long way. What was really strange back in the late 60s early 70s is people would buy the big block Chryslers with those really strange-looking exhaust manifolds and take them off and put long tube headers on them and make less horsepower. Because there was no thought put into the design of the headers. It took a while for designed headers to actually come to fruition.

What would you use on a small NA 4 cylinder engine? and would it boost or free up power more efficiently? p.s working on a small hatchback with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine as a project at the moment.

I have a 2001 base model c5. Thinking of doing kooks short tube headers, catted xpipe, and no mufflers. I assume I should go with 1 3/4"? Also does anyone have any recommendations for axel back straight pipes? Lots of performance muffler options, but I'd really like to go straight.

Short tubes producing more torque is an idiotic myth. Long tubes out perform short tubes in areas of the rpm range.

I still dont know why they make long tubes closer to the ground when they dont need to be.

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT 5.7 Liter with a Magnaflow High-flow Catalytic converter and a Borla ATTAK cat-back exhaust system. Can anyone recommend which one (Long or Short tube) I should go with? I also live in Texas....

Short tube since you have high flow cats

Long tube or don't bother you're not going to gain 20hp or more with shorties. Th
