I thought long tubes gave a few more ponies than shorties

well you maybe one of the lucky one's
but I seen them pieces of shit crak 3 times on the same car
on anothere car they would leak all the time
to much money for crappy headders
shit they cost as much as long tubes fuck that
well their is the upside that they will get replaced if they crack but fuck who wants to keep replaceing them
oh and im talking about 4.6 not 5.0
maybe they did better with older models

NO, JBA's suck on the older 5.0's too!!....I know of a couple of 5.0 owners who put FMS shorties on their 5.0's because of the casting/manufaturing problems on the JBA's....
