Headers

I was just looking at headers and wanted to know what the performance difference is between full length headers and fenderwell headers. Also does anyone know which ones are easier to install without moving much stuff around?

Fenderwells have less bends so they flow better, and they are easy to put on. You may loose some turning radius though.

If you have stock size tires on it you probably wont loose much if any any turning radius. You can readjust your steering stops if necessary.
As far as power gained, not very much, but you would notice it.

I plan on putting a little bigger tires on it. I think I will sacrifice the performance so I can still keep this beast manueverable. Thanks for the help
