You can run shorty's but you will net little to no gain over the 01/02 exhaust manifolds, and yes hawks right now is the only place to buy long tubes for the 3rd gen.

if you're looking to run shorties, dont.. just get the 01/02 manifolds.. they flow the same.. and emissions legal if you need that.


the Stainlessworks headers, sold under the Hawks name, is the only production header for 3rdgen LS1s right now.

Just some info I thought I would share. I called Bruce a few months back to asked if he had any plans for a larger set of LTs for the bigger CI guys and I was told no. If I remember correctly he guessed a cost of 2k for a custom set but dont hold me to that.
