exhaust: shorties or long tubes?

04-03-2001, 05:11 PM

The folowing are specs on my current car:

'90 LX 5.0; 12K original miles (no sh*&); 3.55 gears; pulleys; Edelbrock Performer Heads; BBK shorties; MSD 6AL ignition system; Motorsport E303 cam; 75 MAF; 70 TB; Eibach spring kit; Southside sub-connectors; K&N cone filter charger; Hurst shifter; fiberglass cowl hood; A/C-less; rear seat-less; cat-less; Flomasters; Corbeau racing seats (fronts); 12.513 @ 108 mph

I'm planning on doing my intake, injectors, and supercharging w/ in the next year.

My question is whether to go w/ shorties or long tubes? off-road? BBK, etc? Your ideas would be greatly appreciated. Should I do it at all?

Well, I'm pretty sure you'll get lots of responsed telling you to go with a longtube header.

However, IMO, stick with the shorties that you already have. I had the shorties, went to a longtube, and didn't see much improvement to justify the cost.

It sounds like you already have a strong running car, so save the money to put towards the new stuff you planning on buying.
