x2 go with Long Tubes, if you live up north, certainly go with Stainless as they'll likely rust out in a couple years from the salt and cinders. Try a search on the forum (that little menu button up top) lots of threads on headers.

Wow.....



Long tube: the tubes are LONGER than stock

Shorty: the tubes are SHORTER

Is it really that difficult?

Where ever you decide to get them from, just call and talk to someone there. They will point you in the right direction and get you what you want.
