Shorties
More snap

long tube:
more high end power
Just wanted to make sure im right, as well what does everone recomend?

personally i would go long tube, With short tubes you get better low end, and with long tubes you get better top end power, also long tubes sound better too!
but i guess at the end of the day it depends on what your doing with your car..
Long tubes give you the Best Power
Short Will Pass Emmissions :teeth:

STR on an 86 will probably make the car faster,. You lost low end torque with the LT's. I had an 86 before the turbo car and I went with a mac kit. 1 5/8 LT's 2.5" ORH-pipe, flowmaster mufflers and 2.5 polished tails. Personally I would do the mac 2.5" to 3" flare taipipes for that agressive look.

I will lose low end torque with the long tubes but it will go faster...is that what you are saying?

i previously have unequal shorty , equal lenth shorty , summit/Flowtech LT's ( bullshit) and now i have just installed BBK long tube and it s very easy to fit , louder sound than the Flowtech . It worth the cost of a good quality of Long tube .
Fitted to the Prochamber , Very DEEEEP sound . As for the hp/tq increasment , i will see tomorow a the track if i gain something ( or win something
)
