Long tubes/ backpreasue
Ok here guys i been reading about LOng Tubes.....
This summer Im planning on buying a pair of them with a cutout for them. I love the sound of open headers and am wondering if i just run my engine with the L.Ts and a cutout will my car not have enough backpressure and run like crap? If I could get a better understanding of how it all works seeing that im new to the whole open headers thing it work be great.
thanks in advance =]

RE: Long tubes/ backpreasue
Don't worry about "back pressure" you could run the car open port and it would be fine...all the electronics around it would be pissed, but it would run until you melted wires and such. Anyway, a long tube header is made to help get your low end torque while making high end power. It has to do with the fact that the longer primary tubes will resonate at a lower frequency, but that's all physics stuff and is more information than most people car to read. Long story short, don't worry about "back pressure" with long tubes.
