If you cant get long tubes save your money. You could get a nitrous kit and hide the bottle in the spare tire compartment... dad will never know

The 00-02 are the better flowing from what I remember. I see you have an 02 so you def have the better flowing ones.

Instead of getting headers get "custom" manifolds made( same as headers but its a loop) just look for local fab shops.

If your going to go through the trouble get LT's. I'm sure you could go "visit" someone for a few days and install them. Unless hes checking under the hood everyday he'll never know.

None of my business but if your Dad is controlling your mods, you need to save up and get out of there first. Just my $0.02

You could go with shorties or MAC mid-length. Both are headers and neither are longtubes...

You could get Vette manifolds but you'd have to go to a shop to custom fabricate the rest of the exhaust to mate up with your catback.
