Jeep SRT8 Manifolds

[Tincup]

Tin,

I didn't mean at all that the smaller/shorter header would cost less or be cheaper. I simply meant that the extra HP from the long tubes is worth some extra coin in my book.

Overall I think you are correct with your HP/Torque thing. A good point since most of us are building street cars, lets face it, torque is really what gets the job done on anything but a drag car.

I believe long tube headers can keep the torque by using smaller initial primaries, then stepping to larger tubes at a certain distance. (a buddy of mine has some header building software and says that TTI would have been better using 1 5/8, then stepping up to 1 3/4 based on the specs of the 5.7... He even told me the distance of the step-up, but I cant remember)

I guess I wont really know 'til later today if the TTI's are the wrong/right choice, the motor is going in today, and I hope I don't have fitment issues...

I'm sure there is plenty of engineering that goes into making a set of headers, and I'm sure the TTI's are a great piece. I can only speak from my experience that a long tube was not really an option, because the front of the car will be very low. For most guy's on here, not really a problem. Good luck with your install, be sure and post some pic's...

I bought the TTI's and they are a tight fit and not cheap but it just goes with any hobby.

I don't know of anyone that has tried them so they may not even fit, but one other option might be Street and Performance. http://hotrodlane.cc/
On page 160 of their catalog they have a street rod style header for 430.95 and a mid length for 720.95
If nothing else they are good for price comparison.
