not trying to seem dumb just asking
i know by heart that long tubes are allways better than the pacesseter headers know i have a couple a questions is only this way with v6's or all engines in generall, why are long tubes better, and finally would you spend the extra 500 on long tubes than the regular pacesetter or its not worth it?

I put header's on my 3.4 but I bought them dirt cheap. They were the RKSport one's but they were a floor model and I bought it on eBay for next to nothing.

so would you suggest getting headers with a new exhaust? I am getting a Magnaflow in January, and I was thinking about headers as well... I want it to sound loud, and mean... Ive heard headers amplify that, but I would like better opinions from you guys... is it a worthy investment with my new magnaflow? I want to get a 3" catback
