Long Tubes vs. Shorties

I've got the Mac 1 5/8 long tube headers on my blown 87GT.I'm very happy with them.Shorties in my opinion are a waste of money.Long tubes produce more power and torque.

Changing spark plugs is easy with the long tubes.I've changed mine in about a 30-40 minutes

I had to unbolt the motor mounts,then jack the motor up so I could slide the headers on up through to the heads.After they were fitted,I tightened them up to the Mac H-pipe and loved them ever since..

Go for it!

ditto..couldnt said it better myself..for the lil extra $$ and time to put in long tubes its worth it
