    Hey guys, I just recently supercharged my 08 Tacoma and wanted to do one final performance mod before I "try" to fight off the mod bug. DTLH look promising but as the title states I live in CA -->not fun. Ive read all the threads on long tubes and shorties, but I'm getting conflicting opinions. So is there really a substantial difference in HP/TQ gains between long tubes and shorties? Also is it pretty simple to install/uninstall the long tubes before smogging? If not I'll just go with the shorties and not have to worry about emissions and stuff. Thanks for your all your help in advance.
