main diff for me in michigan..... everything

i would NEVER use anything but long tubes, twice the gain over shorty or stubby

main diff for you in cali ??? NO long tubes hold a CARB number and you'll never pass a visual

Shorties are easier to install and also are CARB legal. You will also need to change your mid-pipe if you go from shories to long tubes.

You should pick up more top end with long tubes.

haha... yeah what he sed...

anyways, i forgot to mention too that there are equal length and non equal length. (shorty v stubby)

equal length short headers are better than non-equal length
