What is the big differene between long tube headers and short.I think that i read something obout the pipe dia.
What is the real deal?
I have 96 A4, so make some suggestions.

 

long tubes make more power, and possibly sound better?

 

Why would they make more power.Because of what?

 

TECHNICALLY, THE INCREASE OF VELOCITY BY THE LONGER TUBE AND COLLECTING (INDIVIDUAL PIPES) AT A FARTHER,MORE STRAIGHT DIRECTION (YOU GET RID OF EXHAUST MUCH FASTER---FASTER-IN-FASTER-OUT>>>>THERE'S THE POWER/EFFICIENCY). THE SHORTIES COLLECT MUCH SOONER AND MAZE A LITTLE CRAZIER, ALSO, MIGHT HAVE MORE ROUTING THAN LONG TUBES. BUT WHAT IS KNOWN IS LONG TUBES ARE JUST DOWN AND DIRTY BETTER THAN SHORTIES, UNLESS YOU LIKE TO HAVE THE CAR DOWN " IN THE WEEDS". ---JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH.

-HOPE IT HELPS

 

ALL CAPS DOESN'T MEAN YELLING--JUST BAD HABIT.

 

Sweet. thats my type of reply. Do the long tubes create a big ground clearence issue? Its not like I have a clearance issue, but i would hate to create one.

 

There should be no problem, so long as you don't drive like your on a Z71 or the like. The concern is for guys who have dropped the car 1.5-2" from stock.
