I would probibly avoid getting them since I've heard a few horror stories about some of them. Try heading down to New Era Performance and buy a set of Pasesetter LT's and ORY right in Gates (1322 Buffalo Rd). Thats where I bought mine from (theyre a sponsor here too). They usually have them in stock too so you could probibly walk right in and walk out the same day with what you need.

seen these myself a while back ago as well they seem to go for $100-$200 shipped seems like a good deal on s.s. headers though, but they are shorties...I looked up the feedback on the sales for these and buyers report them as being a perfect fit except for a bit restrictive openings

You should search "LT1", as thats what ours is. LT-1 is the original 60s-70s model.
If you're getting them for more than $45 (IE, you're getting a good deal from a buddy or something), you might as well spend more money and get Mids.

^I've gone that route before and it was ok at the time, but I'm sick of having to deal with it. I guess I'm just not devoted to the cause, lol. Since this car is just a mild toy I'll be more than happy to waste my money on BBK shorties, which improved 2 tenths and 2 mph in the 1/4 on my old 1994 TA on the only pass I ever got to make with that setup.

All I asked was if anybody was familiar with the SLP knockoff "shorties" that have recently appeared on E-bay. The mid vs. shorty vs longtubes debate has been well documented. Some of us, have street cars that we might want to grab a few extra hp for, as well as pass a visual smog check, that's all......

And we know what you asked Lead, we're trying to tell you to not waste your money, knock off or brand name. Put a few more bucks down on some Mids. You'll keep great street manners and actually pick up some usable power.

Yeah, I can definitely agree, no matter what kind of headers anyone decides to go with, get a good brand. Knockoff parts (especially something prone to fitment issues like headers) are just asking for problems.
