out of all the different kinds and brands of headers out there. which one of them are the better but for my 2005 v6. more horses ect...

[05horse]

long tubes are nice but cost alot.

if your not going FI why bother?

then u have to modify the muffler system


shorties, look good and cost less. but dont do much.

i got a set of shorties on ebay for $100.


generic brand
they look great


dident feel no power increase, but you prolly wotn with any header...ESP shorties.


my buddy is makeing 620 HP on shorties.

same thing few dollars cheaper.


they are all made in china, come with gaskets and hardware


instalation of shorties is moderate. a bout a 3 on the 1-10 skill level.


took me 2 hours. and only a few tools.


i got a how to write up somewhere.

I don't have any yet, but from the comparison research I have done online (cuz I want some too) JBA seems to have a good set of headers. Also, Anderson Ford in Clinton, IL has a full performance shop and on site DYNO and they have their own in-shop long tubes for the V6, as well as a CAI. That is the only place where I have actually found long tube headers for the V6.

I have the JBA shorties on mine and as mentioned above,,,no appreciable gains. Just look good.

[xroguex]

i`m with 05horse. i put some ebay shorties on( 114.00 shipped) from eworld1 and they are nice. fit good, look good. no problems with them.

any headers with the words "long" and "tube" in the name will give you about 10-15 horses. all shorties do is look cool and add 2 horsepower.....if that

you forgot the "cool factor" with the shorties. if you install them, then you will be cool. and as a old guy once told me " once your cool, your always cool". ok, i`m gonna cool it now

I'm looking at doing the samething. Other than mac and jba what other good brands are out there. Or is that the only two good ones.

bbk has some too. search online, i imagine hooker or cyclone and some of the old header companys make some.

i JUST sold a set of bbk's after i decided id try to find long tubes. of course i havent got any lt's yet cuz im ordering my x charger tomorrow! YAY! but ill be sure to do it after i do the x install...hopefully run a LT into dual borla stingers if i can

[HCPacMan12]

So I gotta ask.. are long tube headers legal? Like do they mess with the Cats at all? JW, lol

yes and no. they are legal as long as you get a catted shorty midpipe. you will need what is called a shorty midpipe (either H or X) and from there you can go with either catted or offroad midpipes, the offroad ones are the illegal ones.

dude....im so jealous. you MUST post up a vid the SECOND you get that X installed and running. i am SOOOO interested to see what it will make your car run at the track too. maybe next spring we can get together and race em! (P.S. i will probably be getting either an X charger or a GT next summer )
