Kit 82300 from Hedman is available uncoated or with Hedmans HTC Coating. Should I Use Shorty or Long-Tube Headers?
Theoretically, longer-tube headers (where primary tubes extend for a longer distance before joining the collector) will produce slightly more horsepower. However, that scenario is more applicable to racing. For a street vehicle that’s outfitted with secondary pipes and mufflers, you probably won’t see or feel any difference between short and long headers. It’s certainly no secret that shorties are popular (block huggers are often favorites), and sometimes necessary in terms of fitment and clearance issues. Don’t feel that you’ve short-changed yourself by opting for block huggers. In terms of power for the street, it’s really not a big concern.
