I had long tubes in one of my camaro's that wa lowered and they scraped on inclines do long tubes scraped ever with stock suspension in like a 1995 camaro?

Would you do long tubes or mid? I have a 383 with a lt4 hot cam heads and intake would mids flow enough? Even with a 150 shot?

 

LOL Let the flames wars begin.

You soon get the "LT'S F T W BITCHEZZZZ!!! crowd in here"

The truth is you should match your headers to your setup.

I like AS&M headers for a street car. For a more top-end / race setup LT's would probably make a few more hp.

 

Just curious as to why you prefer mids for a street car?

 

mids have better ground clearance and if you go with a higher quality mid you'll get the primary diameter of your average lt and the ground clearance of a midlength

kinda best of both worlds

 

i like my mac mids alot. real good ground clearance. real easy install. and a def performance increase. good mid range. when i do new heads ill also be doing LPP's new LT's to get alittle more out of it.

 

I went with the kyb agx 8-way adjustable shocks on stock springs. The shocks dropped the car 3/4" which gives the car a bit of a lowered stance, but still maintains good ground clearance. Matter of fact kyb does not reccomend running lowering springs with these shocks. I kind of looked at it as a best of both worlds solution. My Lt's have never scraped anything or come close on this setup.

 

Definitive proof LT's are better than Mid-tubes
Red = previous setup with AS&M mid-tube headers & 30# injectors
Blue = current setp with LPP long tube headers & 37# injectors


Only difference in the above setups were headers. Mid-tubes work nearly as well as LT's at high RPMS but just plain suck in the torque department down low. I was blown away by how much more low end grunt I had when going to LT's. My LT's have NEVER scraped at stock worn spring height.

 

Thank you guys! Lt's it is!

 

I've used all 3, shorties, mids, and LT. LT are the best. I never had ground clerance issues since the car was never lowered and it was a 383 LT1. I didnt mind shorties because they are an easier install until you get the Y pipe portion.

I hated Mids since they didnt increase ease of working in the engine bay, and the collector is in a crappy place. the only Mid I know of that has a 1-3/4" primary was Arizona Speed and Marine Mids which horrible fitment issues and bolt access.

I did fine with Jet Hot LT headers.
