They're shorter than longtubes and longer than shorties.

They make good power but less than longtubes (especially on the lowend and midrange.) They make better power than shorties.

What else do you want to know?

I have the Bassani's. Great fit and quality, especially with the ORP y-pipe. I put me at 380 RWHP with a baby cam. Lots of guys with LT's arn't matching that. It a great choice for stock heads, and it not as conspicuous as LT's.

I have MACs, can't beat them for the price! The Pacesetters look good to, but they are a LT design.
