should i dump the equal length shorty's

[J-rod]

well a good respecatble and fast member here reccomended that i got rid of the equal length shorty's instead of buying some plug wire boot protectors. since as you can see in the pic...i have little to no room on the #3 cylinder wire.

is there much difference in performance in the equal to unequal length shorty's. i dont have much mods and i know that matters.

im thinking the boot protectors be easier and cheaper to do...but what does SCS think.

That doesn't sound like a bright idea to me. get the protectors

I don't see any reason to get rid of them. I don't think they're worth the extra money for the initial purchase, but if you already got them there's no reason to change unless you went with long tubes

[madmaxin22]

doesnt make much sense to me, but to each his own.... you wont see any power gain and unless you go ceramic coated, they will look like crap in a few months anyway......

[J-rod]

well im not sure if he was saying to get rid of them instead of the wrap...but it did seem that way.... maybe i misread at 6am. lol

If you are going to get different headers you would be better off getting longtubes like ray said, that would be the only reason i would get different headers

One of my past 5.0 cars had them. They sucked, I think they were blems. I had that same issue. I just wraped them.

aluminum foil.

I recomended replacing the headers as an option because they are a PITA. I have had the equal lenth headers myself and found the MSD wires took alot more heat than the FMS wires. Like I said, there are ways to fix the problem but if it were mine I would put unequal shortys or LTs on it.

Maybe mine werent blems....just a PITA!!!

yea if i was gonna swap headers id go LT's. i just went to a local shop about some plug boot wraps and he will have them tomorrow...he stocks them he is just out. $15 more than summit...but local.

Lou, hope you didnt take this as personal, i was just getting opinions.

Nope, nothing wrong with getting some opinions.

I'd just go long tubes. They are nice. Quiets it down though.

get some full length headers, shortys are a big pain... full lengths give you more room up top, the shorties are to crammed.. my .02$

[J-rod]

well ill keep looking for used LT's and mid pipe.

+1 for sure. A little tough to install but well worth it. They free up some room, look great and work nicely.
