Long Tube Headers VS Bassani Equal Length?

I currently have a full Bassani exhaust with the equal length "shorty" headers. I was wondering if changing to long tube headers would give me any improvement? Would the long tubes bolt up to my catback system?

ALSO... Is it possible to remove/install the headers without pulling the engine? Looks pretty tight in there.

Full Bassani is usually good for about 0 dyno H/P. Long tubes have been proven to produce more H/P & T/Q.

You can use the Bassani cat-back. You will need to buy long tubes, cats, and mid pipes. The install is supposed to be easier than the shorties. No engine removal necessary.

Has anyone gone from Bassani to long tubes and seen improvement. I have searched and saw where people say they picked up .3 from the long tubes but I assume the was versus the stock exhaust. Right?

Bassani Shortys to LT and catback. Got nothing. I don't agree that the install on LT is easier.

Neither do I.Additionally, no one can tell me that a tubular exhaust with free flowing cats and a low restriction muffler with mandrel bent tubes is worth 0 H.P. Bassani claims 23 H.P. and even if they're off I'll bet its good for at least 15 on a slightly modded L.
