Header Opinions????

Long Tube Headers or Short Tube Headers. Sound vs. Power..
I know long tube are supposed to produce more low end torque than short tube,but has any one tried both? If so,whats the differences in sound,power,torque. Which do you prefer long or short????

Long tube gives a deeper sound in addition to the better low end power curve they offer over shorties'.

I have only used long tubes. I know that they free up a little more power.

I've tried several different types of headers on various installations. I've used shorties,tri-wyes, four into one; they all seem to work good and I couldn't tell if there was much difference in performance between the different set-ups.
