    Planning on just the long tubes right now. Doing some other maintenance items so I might do the whole exhaust once I can budget it.

    If your trying to do long tubes it’s not just a straight swap, short tubes would be a direct swap

    Oh, good to know. I remember seeing the short tubes. Any advantage to going with long tubes/full exhaust replacement?

    Long tubes give the best performance gains, but require either new or modified mid pipes. I've heard tons of conflicting info about shorties. Some they lose low end, some say there is no difference, some say that you gain low-mid end. Personally, my truck feels more responsive with my OBX shorties, but that was probably more due to the multiple exhaust leaks on my old manifolds. If you go shorties, use remflex gaskets on the collector pipe, and percys or OEM gaskets on the flange.

    Hmm. Thanks for the explanation. If I did long tubes any recommendations for mid pipes? Also kinda curious what a completely new exhaust would look like.

    Do some research, it isn't exactly a direct bolt on,
    Its a tasty kind of sausage. Has a sweetness to it. Usually skinnier but those look really good.

    Not to derail further, but size of longanisa depends on what province and it can be quite spicey. Cebu style is quite small and short actually. In Ilocos Norte the longanisa is much bigger. I used to buy it in Baatac at the meat market up to 2ft long because stuffed in actual pig gut. Take it home and have grill heaven.....

    I thought Keith had the 1st gen headers/exhaust pretty much plug and go play?

    There is a lot of add on needed for vvt-i motors. He sells a block off plate for them which needs an extra set of gaskets. Then you need to extend the wiring harness for the O2 sensors and have the cats modified to weld on the v band clamps. From the cats back you have to redo the y pipe or just go custom.
