the diff between long tube and shorties is about 20 to 25 hp ,,shorties give you almost nothing in hp ,,long tubes will :smokin:
:bs: like I posted above, same dyno same day, there was only about 3-5hp difference, and carl and I were both about 20-25 more than the trucks without headers.
In California they do the OBD II test along with a sniffer, and a visual. Some places will actually look up on the computer what your vehicle is suppose to have and make sure it's all there. i.e. all 4 of you cats. Only shorty headers are allowed in California and they have to be approved by C.A.R.B. ( California Air Research Board ). Any approved after market device that attaches to the motor will come with a C.A.R.B. approval sticker. I heard of one guy putting on shorties to get the sticker and then putting on long tubes later on.
:bs:i call double bs lol,,my black truck was dynoed before i put shorties on it then i dynoed after ,with no other mods done,, and did not gain nothing but 5 or 6 hp on it ,,after i sold my shorties to Jack and installed mopar long tubes i gained 20 more ,
same dyno same butthole guy but it was a different dayDid you use the same dyno and do the test on the same day? Can't really compare the two dynoed unless you did.
same dyno same butthole guy but it was a different day
So long tubes are a no go in cali lol
