Video: Long Tube vs. Shorty Headers. Posted 09/04/12 by OnAllCylinders Staff. Last updated on 01/24/2022. In this Summit Racing Quick Flicks video, Mike will help you choose the right type of headers for your exhaust system—focusing on shortys and long-tube headers. Learn why full-length, long tube headers generally will give you the best

Long-tube headers make their power in the mid- to high-RPM range and are superior to both stock and most aftermarket shorty headers. If you can get long-tube headers to fit, you'll usually realize the most power gains. And that part about fitment is no small thing. Long-tube headers are typically the most challenging to install; in many cases

Pros and Cons of Headers Over Manifolds: Pros: The smooth walls of the header piping is better for flow than the rough walled castings of the headers. Manufacturers have more freedom of pipe length and routing with more compact headers (more on that later). Headers are generally lighter weight for the same size. Cons:

For shorty headers, the port pipes actually merge into a single exhaust pipe in a much shorter distance. For long tube headers, the exhaust pipes are much longer and merge farther out. Because of this, each design impacts back pressure in the exhaust system in a different way. Longer port pipes result in lower exhaust back pressure.

The 99-current trucks have manifold on them that are basically a shorty header so you won't see much of any gains putting shorties on a newer truck, but on yours you will see power and they will be a heck of

TTI, 1-3/4 - 1-7/8, Long tube headers. If you're using a high quality high flow muffler, 2-1/2 will do. Shorty headers are a waste of time, money and power. The smaller header @ 1-5/8 chokes power up top a lot. Small tube header is a waste of time, money and power. Ease of install? No such thing. Get over it.

You will get the biggest gain by removing the cats, a small gain from going to a well designed short header over the factory header and another small gain from well designed long tubes over shorties. With proper design, the H/X pipe work in conjunction with the headers to change the shape and area under the power curve.

Long tubes are not worth the headaches. :banghead. Good quality shorties are the way to go (Bassani, BBK, Ford racing) :thumbup. I do not understand this sudden movement to factory manifolds. :whiteflag. 86 Bronco - 357W/AOD - 6" suspension lift, 3" body lift - 38" TSL Radials - 456:1 Gears.

The stock headers on the mustang are very efficient tri-y design and flow pretty well, because of this, shorties really don't do anything for your car, you won't likely see any power gains. LT's on the other hand give a better, deeper, more crisp tone.

For example, I have stock with the Roush Axle backs; I wanted to go Long Header, new Resonator and Mid-pipe into the Roush Axle backs but I can't do that without buying the Catted Shorty H-pipe. The headers + Catted H-pipe is $1,000. Realistically, the BBK Shorty headers seem to be the best option because you can reuse the factory cats.

Received 2 Likes on 2 Posts. Just my $.02 worth here - Unless you are running a short, large diameter, open exhaust, you probably won't tell much difference between short tube and long tube headers, especially on a stock to lightly modified engine. Reply Like. # 3. 10-14-2010, 10:20 AM.

Long tube Headers vs. Shorty Headers Sound. Long tube headers and shorty headers are two popular types of aftermarket exhaust components that can significantly impact the sound of a vehicle. While both types of headers can improve exhaust flow and increase horsepower and torque, they produce different sounds that appeal to different drivers.

Even better, go for a Tri-Y design. For low-end grunt a header needs a relatively narrow tube which is long and has a long collector. For the top-end power you would want a shorter tube (some may argue with that), with a larger diameter for better flow volume. It's all about trade-offs. For a crisp, torquey bottom end, all engine components

There is no difference in sound. 2. Get headers that are specific for your application. 3. Long tube headers from a performance standpoint are the only way to go but- the actual % of lost power between the two is very minimal and can be overcome or mitigated by application tuning (as fr as street vehicles go). 4.

shorties- cheap and easy to install. Shortie Equal Length - More expensive and slightly more difficult to install, but provide better performance since primary length affects your torque curve (different length primaries will create different cylinder torque curves) Full length - Typically more expensive and require new crossover and more

Hemi 5.7. CTD said: Yes I felt a definite difference in performance. The truck pulls harder throughout the RPM's. It felt like like the loop had come together with the Hemifever tune, Vararam, and the long tubes. I did not think there would be a big difference in sound with the ARH cats in place, but boy was I wrong.
