Hey guys,

Gonna put a procharger on...Would long tubes or shorties be better? What brand...JBA?

 

well


I'd get long tube they give you more flow for that extra horsepower"gain" lol yeah JBA is pretty good or try hooker if they have any or heddman(sp) just like put in your type of truck at like www.stylinconcepts.com or www.summitracing.com or www.proficientperformance.com and see what they show you..

 

what engine in ur truck ebay has long tubes for 287 for the 4.6 and i think they have em for the 5.4 i think their made by pace setter if not jet hot has them with life time warranty for about 480

 

You will be hard pressed to find any type of selection on some long tubes, pacesetters are gonna be about yer only choice for long tubes. Long tubes would be "mo better" but nothing wrong with shorties, I dont care what anyone says even shorties are gonna flow way better than yer stock manifold. With the shorties youve got a couple options starting with the ones you'll find everywhere JBA's which are probably the most expensive of the bunch, and Gibsons which are a bit cheaper. Actually I didnt even notice what year truck you have I am speaking on 05 model, if you have something prior to 04 you may find just a slight better selection than I have described here. And by the way, any of them would be a great choice.

04-05 long tubes....

97-93 long tubes

 

After finally getting my shorties bolted into my '04, I don't see how long tubes are even possible on the newer model, 4WD w/AC at least. 2WD different story I suppose. I can't even imagine the install process...lol.

Check my gallery for pictures of stock vs JBA shorties...they'll definitely flow better, but longtubes would be nicer
