Long tubes are the only way to go. Shorties gain you no power or mpg... I have the stainless steel dynatech long tubes and I gained 30 hp and 35ftlbs, not sure on mpg though.

Was that rwhp? I got a set on the way from Troyer's. Is there anything special I'm going to need for the install? I hate getting in the middle of a job and having to stop to go get parts or tools!

No, I had my shorties off and the long tubes on in 2 hours. I plugged my egr, so i didnt have any problems there. It sure does run better!

No lol it actually made it come on. I Just reset the code every now and then, no big deal. still passes emissions and runs the same.

Put the first 2 right after the header collectors, then the other 2 in the factory location.
