Default How much will loose.

I have Slp long tube headers on the car now. I'am thinking about going to some mid length headers. I can't stand the headers dragging. how much horsepower will I loose.

i think you might lose some low/midrange power.
What mods are on your car?
If its stock internals, you might lose prob 7-10 rwhp..if you have a cam or h/c setup, it could be more.
*SLP's are know to hang very low, a set of QTP headers will give better power and they do not have any clearnce problems <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
go with thunders, PPC or QTP's ---->

I doubt you would lose much. I've seen dyno sheets of cars that made more peak HP with Macs over SLPs. You'd probably lose some in the mid range though.
