Default Shorties or LT's

Im trying to decide between shorties or longtubes, and heres my delemias. Ill list it in pro and con lists.


Shorties Longtubes
---------------- -------------
-Cheep -Almost 3x the cost of shorties
-More selection -Only made by pasesetter
-Allows me more exhaust setups -No pre rear wheel exit exhaust setups
(namely dual exit before rears) -More power than stock, slightly more than shorties, but much more at the top end than shorties
-More power than stock -Will require immediate exhaust modification to bolt up
-Bolts up to stock exhaust flanges

Id like to hear the firsthand oppinions from you guys that have them to help me make up my mind. thanks.

so youd definately go LTs again if you had to.

yea, im trying to figgure out how i can get an h pipe in there so i can exit before the rear tires, all while watching for the gas tank, and not having 90* bends. I think ill prolly just do true dual out the one side like a lightning.
