damn sorry for asking guys lol cant we all just get along . thanks for the info i guess the stock ones look alright . but i just dont see how headers being another 7 to 8 inchs longer make so much more diff when it all goes into one pipe . i know longtubes are better . but why does it make such a big difference . is it the gases can get more velocity before being combined with each other therefore exiting faster ?

didn't mean to be an ******* (i think thats what you mean ) Its just several things I dont care to look up. It was just the straw that broke the back so to speak. Maybe I was a bit harsh. Sorry about that.

it has a lot to do with more complicated stuff than simple restriction vs free flowing.

also, i think full length are usually bigger diameter?

treyz28~ Ya I guess it is a little f'd up. I have seen that exact same statement that I made over on LS1tech and on other sites so i asumed that it was ok. and i guess i made an *** out of me No hard feelings man. I am still learning everyday that I am here on this site. It just kinda hurt that you made it seem like everytime I open my mouth I am saying something wrong.
Thanks for settin me strait and I hope you will feel free to correct me the next time i f up. bc you and I know that I will

thanks-

Matt
