This is a 383 and I was wondering disadvantages to advantages of long tubes vs shorties, what would be good to put in, as I dont want to take them out once in. Right now the motor has stock manifolds and it is a 383.

You will be choking it with shorties................go longtubes.

stock manifolds, anything is a improvement, so lt's are the way to go?

 

To the best of my knowledge yes. I can tell you this, i went with my AS&M mid's because i didnt like the gains from shorties but couldnt really pass emmissions(and didnt have the money) for LT's. I could've gained another 5RWHP or more from LT's and sometimes i wished i would have. But comparing SHORTIES and LT's you are talking about an atleast 10 RWHP difference and maybe more on a 383. Definately go with LT's especially if you are planning to do heads down the line which i think you will need to do with a 383. Just my .02

What is a good brand to go with, price in mind too, How will the y exit on the LT's right at the area along the driveshaft?

 

come on there has to be some negatives to LT's vs shorties?

 

if you don't have to worry about emissions go with the long tubes.

 

I can put whatever I want, only a safety inspection is required.

 

No drawback to LT's. Go with either hookers or FLP's. Botha are good. I think one thing that you might have to do is make your own holes for the 02's but thats not that big o deal. Trust us, go with LT's they make the most power............................period.

LT's =

 

clearance, will the stock system (intermediate) and over the axle pipe work with the muffler, I know there will be alot of welding involded, correct?

 

i would definately get some long tubes if uare doing a 383, anything else would be chocking it IMO

 

did it... just need better exhaust now, need to get this thing to breathe.

 

What about the Jet LT's? I like the idea of those b/c I can leave on the emissions **** *if* I ever need it...

How much do the Hookers and FLP's go for...
