I have seen 2 sets put on at the shop I use. One on stock money with absolutely no mods - actually lost power and the guy had them removed in favor of going back to stock; the other was on supercharged "stock" engine. He didn't get half the gain he should have. IMO don't waste your time and money. There is a lot of people that will disagree with me, but for a few more dollars you can go with the long tubes. Again IMO the long tubes is the way to go.

If you have a 01/02 don't bother.
98-99-00 get the BBK 1 3/4 if you really want a shorty. Might get 10/12 rwhp

Does Michigan law prohibit you to have LT's or at least MACs?

Michigan does allow those. Where do you recommend, hopefully from one of the sponsors of the sight to get BBK Shorty Headers??
