what kind of power additions am i looking at with long-tubes on a '97 cobra vert with mods?

Hmm...I want to guess about 6-8hp through the band. What are your other mods?

if you pay $800 or something to have them installed, IMHO, it's hardly "worth it".Perhaps you have more money than me though, it's all relative.
Install them yourself, and it's probably pretty easily "worth it".
FWIW, I had trouble installing mine the first time

i had some installed but i don't think for the price i paid for labor they are worth it set me back 800$ i did notice a power difference but maybe 10 hp at the most total cost for headers and h-pipe was 450+800=1250+50 for o2 extensions that was one mod i wish i would have saved $ for into a supercharger.
