I have a nasty scratch on one of my long tors, and while that in itself isn't enough to buy new ones, i also am getting real tired of removing one to get to mt rear axl bolt which i seem to do a lot. So i am considering going to the shorties. But i want to know if they sound any louder or different.

Not heard the longs, but love my shorties.

 
My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

Shorties seem to have bit more of a bark. I prefer them over the long.

Regards

you mean a different tone or louder?

I have heard both, and it's a bit more of both-to answer your question. Not a huge difference-but there when you hear them side by side. If you like one I'd imagine you'd like the other.

I hate to keep hounding you, but when you say more in tone, how do you mean? more trebly? Midrangy? deeper lows?
