Long tubes make more torque than shorties, just like like longer intake runners do. Shorties get you most of what a long tube does. If you're willing to do an engine back exhaust, go long tube. I intend to keep the stock cats for now so will eventually go shorty with the optional 3" down pipes.
I figured I was going to have to do the entire exhaust from downpipe back, but I figured if I was going to put myself through all the trouble I wanted to find headers that had actual power numbers which I found from the Torque Tubes.
Shorties would be easiest, but from some information I've collected from RV Forums, some older truck forums, and some stuff that was saved from that massive 454 thread on FSC it brought me to the conclusion I really wanted to try to find a set of Banks headers.
