I'm in ca and the long tubes seem too much and not street legal. I use mine as a truck but wonder if the short tubes are worth it performance wise? Maybe quieter?
@dgallegos4201 I have both, The long tubes are cheaper (if you cant weld that is, because the shorties require a lot of work to gets the cats on), the long tubes are bolt on (shorties aren't, as previously mentioned), the long tubes give a HUGE mid-range gain (I didn't feel much extra power with the shorties). Downsides are the long tubes are louder because of cat deletion and if you want the check engine light to go away you have to get rear o2 sensor simulators also due to cat deletion.
@Ill06Taco I keep the shorties around for smog, but I wish I wouldnt have paid the $1k to buy them and then have to drive far away to get them modified and installed. I wish I just went from stock manifolds to long tubes, but they werent available at the time.
Sounds badass! I'm thinking of swapping my JBA shorties for the long tubes....I wont be running any cats at all though....I wonder if it will be TOO loud...
Im running the shorties too with out cats and when I need the torque I hace a cut out at the Y... itsssssssssss fucken loud but will there be a difference with the upgrade to long tube with HP?
thanks man. too bad it doesnt sound like that anymore! It was fun while it lasted but there was absolutely NO way to hide it from law enforcement. It was really too loud.
just watch the latest Mac/Mahnaflow video. The long tubes are up and away the best headers for this engine. I had a huge gain even over the shorties. The Taco is probably done with mods for a long while. I just baught a 74 cuda.
how many times do I have to say it? IN THIS VIDEO: Its a true dual exhaust using a modified stock y-pipe, to a MAC ProChamber, dual dumps. Yes buy the DTs, they are awesome.
Actually, no, but it still has the modified y-pipe with cats and a MAC ProChamber with dual dumps on the end. If you watch my latest truck video it's the same thing with an 11" Magnaflow added
You ain't lyin'! That thing will make even die hard diesel fans perk their ears up.
Heh, if you wanted to mess with people, return it to that configuration and slap on a DD badge just to mess with them. When they ask, say, "Yep, it's a Detroit Diesel - new deal between Toyota and DD."

But you have no idea how loud it was, thevideo doesn't do it justice at all. There was no way I could keep law inforcement away for too long

I know I miss it when it was this loud, I would drive by jack in the box at WOT and everyone would drop their tacos to look at mine
