Shortys Worth It?

proto89 · December 15th, 2007, 04:58 PM

I just recently purchased a pypes o/r x pipe from a member on here and currently have on a flowmaster cat back. Now I was just wondering if Ford Racing Short Headers would be worth it. I know there is more performance in LTs but I enjoy driving my car around and not hearing a nasty screech from scraping like i did in my 85 lol.

Thanks
Al

Well I hear you can get good torque out of shortys, just no real hp. Ive seen some cars pick up 10-15tq and 0-1 hp from shortys. They will be better than stock. So if you don't want to go with LTs then go shortys.

He already bought a mid pipe so buying mid lengths would defeat the purpose of that purchase. Like weems said, anything is better than the stockers. I would say go for it.
