I've been looking for headers to put on my 02 SS for some time now. I have been wanting long tubes w/ a 3 inch Y-pipe, but ran across the Mac mid-length headers also w/ y-pipe. Here's my dilemma. The long tubes are supposed to put out the most hp from what I understand. But they do hang low and will scrape the ground. I wouldn't run cats w/ them. Then, I saw the Mac mid lenght w/ y-pipe minus cats. From what I remember, the mid length don't put out as much hp, but I just don't know. They wouldn't scrape the ground like long tubes. Looking at the Mac mid length, it appears as though the way they hook up to the y-pipe, they might as well just be long tubes.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Which ones do I go for???
