Default Header Q's

ok I have decided Im going to re-do my entire exhaust! right now I have strait cat-back system that gave me a loss of back pressure and loss of power. So I want to get headers the a magnaflow muffler. Im not sure which though. What header should i go with? Long or Short tube, brand? I dont know much about headers so all info will help.

Do a search for headers and you will find tons of info. I went with shorties because they were cheaper than long tubes.

Not really, the lt's are better all around. The question you need to figure out is what does your state do for emissions? If they just plug into the OBDII port go with some Lt's if they do a visual inspection as well then go Shorties.

Ive seen a few sets of LTs for sale here recently over the last few months which is cool because they are cheaper that way.

If you can get through inspections (if you even have them in your area) with the LT's, then go with them.
