FAQ
What gives more horsepower, short or long tube headers?
- Long tube headers, such as our Fox Body long tube headers (JEGS 30071), generally provide more horsepower gains compared to shorty headers. The extended tubing enhances exhaust scavenging, optimizing engine efficiency for increased power.
Are long tube headers louder than shorty headers?
- Long tube headers may produce a slightly deeper and more aggressive exhaust tone compared to shorty headers. However, the overall sound is influenced by various factors, including mufflers and resonators. Our Fox Body long tube headers (JEGS 30071) offer a performance-oriented exhaust note.
