Benefits of long tube headers?

I'v been running the same exhaust set up for 3 years now, Borla shorties, Solo high flow cats and Flowmaster cat back with no tune. What advantages would I gain by going with LT headers? Not sure which ones to go with.

Benefit from long tubes: Champagne would fall from the heavens, doors would open, velvet ropes would part.

Sound and more power, but you will need to tune. For top tier choices, check out Stainless works, KOOKS and ARH. If you are looking for a budget set, the Stainless power are hard to beat. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

Nah. Trust me a K&N intake, long tube manifolds, low flow cats, and a long throw shifter are the way to go.
