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.

LTs are well worth the money, better gains.

Shorties are not nearly as good as LT's for hp gains. Or sound.
In this case, longer really is better than shorter. lol

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.
