lol....there is not a 35whp difference in mids vs LTs. It's closer to 20ish.

If that
All depends on other mods

LTs make ~40-45rwhp. Saying there is a 35whp difference between the two suggests the mids only make 5-10rwhp. :rolf:

That's marginal for the investment. Mids are $5-600....good LTs are $2600+ (MBH, ARH). I'd love to have a set of those LTs but I couldn't justify the additional $2000+ for 30hp and I wasn't putting OBX/Maximizer/PB5 on this car.

20-35whp more hmmmmm

Well personally I am glad I spent the $750 on a used set of EC LTH... Mine do not leak like most claim or I just do not notice or care

There are always many ways to skin a cat... if it was a "newer car" with sub 40k on the clock it MAY get new performance parts. They are metal tubes expel hot @$$ gas my car is not a show car

So my advice is buy anything other than a clutched pulley used and spend the leftovers on maintenance then cooling mods =D

I take it YOU HAVE MIDS ON YOUR CAR??Mids make 25 whp long tubes make 50whp with arh no tune just swapping in.Long tubes are for people willing to go very far with there gains with other mods added to the car too.In the end ,after tuning the long tubes will net 35 or more whp over mids due to more timing and cooling provided..Hulk will even agree with my post.
