long tubes all the way plus you get more torque from long tubes than shorties

you're performance upgrades (very minor) with LONG tubes but you will have to change some of your exhaust piping. and yes the sounds from the longtubes is awesome.

bang for the buck it is worth getting shorties if money is not a matter get longtubes they flow better and soundbetter but can be a bitch to install making you drop k member on my style car shorties you can just shove up there and bolt up in most cases

does ground clearance become an issue with long tubes? especially on a lowered fox?

ya the headers get closer to the ground as you lower the car making it an issue if you go off roading

these fine streets of Worcester may not be of the best quality and can at times be like off roading...
