hey guys just wandering bout these longtubes i know they r worth the money. but how much louder would they be than the bassani shorties that i have now. and how much are these things if u order em from jl be4 jan 11th. i heard there was a discount but how much of one. my main concern is the loudness?

thanks

 

I'm waiting on this answer, about the loudness too. Anybody have this setup? How loud?

 

I had the full Bassani kit on my 99 and I've heard the long tubes. The sound is very similar.

I am going to run the long tubes, cut my Bassani cat pipe to fit, and Bassani Cat back.

 

You may want to ask Totalled, he has long tubes on his truck.

Also do a search on Rob G he did a JDM header install not to long ago, I am sure the JDM headers sound simillar.

 

thanks for the replies i just talked to jl earlier and placed my order. so i guess ill find out how the sound is when i get em on. ill post when i get them on with the results on the loudness but it will be feb. probably.

 

I have coated long tubes and I really don't think you hear them when you have the hood up. At least not like some other uncoated headers I've had on other cars. I think you will find that when you are driving you will only hear the exhaust noise that is dependent on the cats and muffler you run.

 

Rusty: man, cancel that order! You're already way too loud with the full Basanni! Please don't get those long-tube headders, please, pretty please. They will void your warranty! Your truck won't handle right--they induce understeer and bump steer! The a/c won't be able to cope with the added heat and you will sweat in the Vidalia summers and loose all your electrolytes. Take that money and buy a neon light array and then you'll have the toughest L in the onion fiellds.

(For everybody else[not Rusty], he's already whupped me at the track without the headders--whoe is me if he gets them !)

Heard some long tubes about a month ago on lightning jeffs L and i must say they are not as loud as straight pipes but they do have a lot better sound to them[no farting sound] ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and the sound matches an L perfect..especially when you get on it.

 

i hear ya dan.... u done ran faster than me too many times. im sure next time we meet u will run a better time again! i want be able to have those babies on by jan. 26th but ill be back for u soon as i get them. hey maybe we can schedule a dyno date in atlanta if u want after i get em on. u r a krazy ol man!!! j/k

 

One more thought; you may want to check your A/F ratio after the install. Some might think this is ****; I call it tuning.
