Default what should i expect from the long tubes i ordered

well recently i just oredered some long tube headers (pacesetters) from truckperformance.com and its for my 2005 chevy silverado 5.3L ext cab
my current mods are edelbrock shorty headers, aem intake, true dual dynomax bullets with an x pipe and custome dyno tune from synergy motorsports and it dynoed 300hp at the rear wheels and 316lbs of torque. my question is what would be the benefits from adding the long tubes on to my truck rather than sticking with my shorties. would my exhaust sound a lil bit rumbly or a lil bit louder. should i retune again

Yes and Yes!
You should pick up a bit of hp and tq with the swap.

Give us some new numbers after the swap too! Another Synergy truck! Have you run it at the track yet?

Get a good baseline and it's fun. There's always someone faster-no matter how fast you go, there's always somebody slower too!

The Long tubes were a waste of money if you go turbo. Now on a SC setup like mine.... I'm looking for a good used set!

I'm going back for October 25th. Be there!

You'll make a lot more with the turbo but I chose SC for fear of sucking H20 up that remote mount and also wanted to be CARB legal

Go turbo and we can line up! Good lookin truck BTW!
