if you have an auto dont get long tubes, get mid tubes
reason being is the long tubes will set next to your A4 thus giving additional heat and having a problem if you like to stomp on the accelerator
i decided that after 2 master mechanics were teaching me about what heat does to an automatic transmission haha
i would rather give up 15 whp on headers then damaging my A4

Once you break into the motor and start modifying internally you'll see so much more gains at the topend with longtubes rather than shorties or midlengths.
You decided wrong.

Dont get LTs with an A4??? Thats ******* retarted man.
As for the thread, definalty look into getting some longtubes, after making the swap from and open stock y pipe to LTs it was a big big gain up top, but now ive got a little valve float. I would definatly recomend getting Long Tubes, there is no better header unless your using boost.

Damn you actually bought the LT4 kit? 
You'll see alot closer to 330 rwhp with those LTs and a tune. There's also no problem with running LTs and an A4, but if you're really concerned just use heat wrap on the headers.

If your really worried about the heat use ceramic coated headers.
But I believe its a non issue since the exhaust has to go by the tranny even if you use stock exhaust manifolds. I have had my LTs for more that a year and my ATF temp range has not changed since the install.

Oh okay, I was getting ready to rip on you for paying for that
Definetly go with LTs, you will NOT be sorry you spent a little extra cash. And if you have to save up money for coating, do it!
