Well, as the title states, I've been milling over the idea of grabbing some long tubes.

I currently have Crawford hi-flows. Would it be better to keep those and grab some standard short tube headers?

All the reading I've done says yes, but I just wanted to double check before I put it on my list.

 

What are you double checking? You only read once? The answer is pretty obvious.

 

What results are you expecting with the long tubes vs the short?
Is the expense&labor of doing headers at all worth it?
IMO,NO.

 

This response is exactly why I posed the question in the first place.

I've read a lot of things that say yes, the gains from long tube headers are worth the cost of parts and labor to replace any current short header/TP HFC combination.

But, like JCITY, I was always under the impression that doing headers AT ALL wasn't worth the cost of parts and labor.

Which is why I am now confused.

 

It really depends on you and what your goals are. To me it boils down to cost and benefit. $900 set for some nice long tubes vs What I spent $900 on:

$100 for some HR oem tubular headers
$500 nitrous kit
$100 spacer motordyne
$100 high flow cats for HR engine
$100 colder spark plugs and nitrous refill

 

True.

I guess I'll put them on the list, but somewhere near the bottom.

I need to get off my *** and install my flywheel and 4.03 gears.

 

Search and youtube its a mod you can regret

 

test

 

Regret what? the flywheel?

The excess chatter won't bother me. IMO it's the Erie silence of the OE DM flywheels that sounds odd...

 

Regret LTH

 

Ahhh ic

I'll do some searching.

 

Yeah I've not heard too many positives on lth. Lots of people say they could have done without them and for the hassle of installlations fees and cost of the item itself its not been worth it. Ive heard some cars with lth and it sounds like a$$ to to be honest lol. Keep your crawford hfcs! or if you do want to change things up look into art pipes

 

Great setup if you do the rest of the supporting mods.. They are what you need to maximize an NA monster.

 

100 for high flow cats? Where??

 

Mis read!

That is kinda low for a quality HFC!

 

Kinetix cats..........I watch craigslist faithfully.
