Shorties add some torque down low, a little more so than long tube headers, however the gain is minimal, and overall LT's are a FAR better choice for overall hp gains & sound.

i think im goin with shortys

06VistaGT · March 4th, 2008, 08:20 PM

LTs are well worth the money, better gains.

ive been thinking about it as well...i dont plan on going FI so i cant see the need for them in the long run.

TheUNZippee! · March 4th, 2008, 08:21 PM

Shorties are not nearly as good as LT's for hp gains. Or sound.

In this case, longer really is better than shorter. lol

07 STROKER · March 4th, 2008, 08:22 PM

ya but i dont ant my car sounding too loud. as long as shorties produce more torque than stockers im happy...ive been thinkin bout this for a while

TheUNZippee! · March 4th, 2008, 08:23 PM

07 STROKER · March 4th, 2008, 08:33 PM

Dont fret on the shorties....I got the BBK tuned ceramic coated headers and they kick ass...I can definately feel the torque and coupled with SLP's out back it is plently loud. Plus they look great under the hood I will post pics soon.
