Long tube Gaines, Is it worth it?
 
Posting this as a question for everyone who has done long tunes. What number did you have before and after and would you do it again? I've heard both sides so far and am looking for proven noticeable Gaines.

Not worth it. Get a offroad xpipe and be done with it save your time and money!

It seems down low they significant gains but up top there isnt much. I would just do a Intake, Tune, and X/H pipe and call it a day. The headers and Boss Intake might net you a few more ponies but it really isnt worth the price. Spray it.

I have jba's on my car. Notice more higher rpm horse power and a better pull. I dont have before or after horsepower numbers. But I would do it again.

After install what did it all cost you?

Everything I've heard is the best gains come with a boss mani, helps get your low end power back.

After install cost me 1000. I did it all my self. That included x-pipe. And I had bama tunes.

Not bad actually. Doing them both at the sametime makes it hard to tell if it was the cat deletes or the Headers.

Yea I have catted xpipe on my car I cant stand the sound of off road x pipes so I still have some restriction but the sound is great

Worth it

The long tubes don't add a ton of power, for best results get a boss intake.

The Boss manifold achieves higher gains in high rpm but you lose some power on the low end, I have been told the LT's help get some of the low end power back. That's what Midnight11 told me, he has the setup.

How can you say that. You raced Zeek and beat him by a fender correct? I cant see spending that much cash for a Fender. Just my opinion.
