Shorties bolt to the stock exhaust flange. Long tubes go all the way under the truck. Mids stop somewhere between. And most likely won't bolt to the stock location.
I too have an exhaust leak not sure if it's manifolds or if it's on the pipe flange. I want to go with long tubes because they help with low end torque. and I don't have converters to worry about.
