Short headers?
I'm ready to get flamed for asking. But I'll ask any way. Do any of you use short emission legal headers? I need to be able to pass a visual inspection. I'd really want to add long tubes, I know they're better, but I have to think any change from stock manifolds would be an improvement in flow. Any one have numbers before and after short headers?
If so, what brands are being used?
Thanks
Ray

Shorties are a lot of trouble for little to no gain, which is why you don't see them recommended much. If you could find a shorty with 1-3/4" primaries it might be of interest, but beyond that your money's better spent elsewhere IMHO.

CodeDog...that's a badass lookin car ya got there...it would be a shame to put shorties on it hehe
nah here's what you do, put LT's on, go to a TEST ONLY place see if they notice, if they do...spend time and put it back to stock at smog time
also...how did you get that much RWTQ??? I dynoed like 315/324
