which header should I buy ?
What are the advantages of long over short .... and the other way around...
WOW..... nobody ?
well in case it was not clear as to what I was talking about,
I'm getting ready to buy a header for the 2200, I am curious as to which would be a better choice... Long (Full length) or a shorty that hooks to the factory down pipe?
I'm looking for the difference between the two. ( Other than 1 is shorter
)
long...longer primaries FTW
Just better power, or better temp wise, or ?
I can find both, but why 1 over the other ?
better flow and such...exhaust goes through the pipe smoother
"You can only feed them semen for so long before their legs fall off."
Shorties are a cheapo way of trying to gain power on a car (At least in traditional powertrain layout cars) and are chosen when space is at a compromise at best (Like on a street-rod). A long-tube is prefered because it'll help with low-RPM scavenging, which will help make torque there. If you got a 4-spd auto or a 5-spd stick, I'd suggest the long-tubes to help while cruisin' & with fuel economy.
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
