Long tubes will definitly have a different sound, not sure about the equal length though.....

Equal length won't sound any different than shorties.....the problem is the the pipes of the header itself are just too short before it dumps into the H-Pipe. Long tubes will definitely sound different.

I'm going from shorties to LTs right now..

I have a set of LT's. I just thought it would be easier to replace shorties with shorties but since it wont make a difference anyway forget it.

well, it's more of a pain in tha ass to switch from shorties to longtubes because of clearance issues with the lt's, and you would have to cut your h pipe or get a long tube h pipe
