Question Shorties or long tubes?
I guess next on my mod list should be headers...I want a cam but I think the headers should be first. So let's get some opinions and see which is better. I have stock y pipe and cats but stright pipes after that.

Seriously, use the search. This has got to be the most covered and repeated question ever on this forum. I'm tempted to just delete this thread because the outcome is so obvious.
