Default Shorties or mids?

Which headers are shorties and which are mids?Do you need to get a different y pipe for the mids?Can I use my stock y pipe for the shorties?

you can look and see which ones are shorties and which ones are mids, easy to tell the difference

The mids require a new Y- pipe to be used. The shorties can use the stock Y-pipe because they are the same length as the manifolds which is why you don't get much power from them.

I suggest to you MAC midlengths and they come with a catted y-pipe. Ive heard good things about them and they make way more power than shorties do. Shorties dont really help you at all except for sound.

I have the MAC mid-lengths and made the power in my sig on them. I believe they make excellent HP. Long Tubes would pump up my torque, though.
