Default Shorty vs. Long

Got a debate that I'm going through right now everyone about headers. I really would like to finish my exhaust before I lift up my jk this month. I've been looking at the Gibson shorty headers and the Borla Long Tube headers. I would love to get RIPP, but I would like to stay in the budget $$.

Is there huge horsepower and torque difference between short and long? I would like to get some input on this debate I got going on lol Once I've make up my mind which headers to install I will buy a programmer as well. Most likely Superchip or Diablo.

I appreciate the help everyone.

Go with the long tube headers if you want to feel a noticeable power increase. The shortys won't offer much more than stock, and will increase under hood temperatures
