Headers

I had something on my mind thought i would ask you what was the difference in short headers compared to the long ones or full ones. i know size but like is there a performance difference or?

My take is that long tube headers tend to make more power over short ones.
Do you ever see shorties on a real race car?
I don't think so and there must be a reason for it.

shorties however provide better ground clearance for lowered trucks.

have heard shorties are better for top end and long tubes help low end. but not sure how true that is. i figure long tube would be the best.
