    Longer primary tubes do a couple of things. Higher scavenging effect, at lower RPM, gives better torque. This is caused by a lower resonant frequency of the primary tube itself, os the added torque is almost guaranteed.

    Longer primary tubes also keep exhaust gasses at a higher velocity further down the exhaust, so more flow happens in general.

    Are they ready to ship yet?

        Does the explanation of why longer primary tubes work better make sense to you?

        I thought they weren't available yet. I hope they are. Get 'em on there!

            be careful they have been saying that since mid April on these headers. everyone is waiting on them. They are just a reseller like everyone else that has these for sell. They are all waiting for the shipment "that comes in next week"

            Im ready for 2 sets too. :(
