^^^^ What he said.
Now, for the unavoidable question: Why do you want to stay emissions legal? Where do you live? Do you know what kind of inspection they do? Longtubes are much much better than shorties and will pass an OBDII plug in inspection. Hell, I pass with longtubes, no cats, duals, no AIR, and no EGR.

If you have to go shorties, I would recommend getting the BBK ones. The JBA, Edlerbrok, Hooker shorties are 1 5/8, while the BBK are 1 3/4 primary tubes. There are only like four or five people who have them and they have seen 12-15 horsepower on stock cam cars (with a new high-flow catted y-pipe). With your car, I would see more than that.
edit: you dynoed at 380 with those mods?! Wow, nice numbers!! And what is the T1 cam from MTI? Never heard of that and I can't find it on their site

I think you guys have convinced me to go with LTs but which ones sound good with the GMMG catback? I heard it does not sound good with no cats?
thanks again

THe 12-15 hp gain with BBK shorties was over 98-99 tube exhaust or 00-02 cast manifolds. I have heard you don't gain anything over the 00-02 manifolds. If anyone know different let me know. I am thinking of dropping the LT and going with a ported 01 manifold w/ dynotech cats and 2 1/2 true duals all the way back. Will the BBK outflow the port manifold?

in my opinion i never really felt that shorties r worth it, i would save the manifolds, and go with the lt's...try passing emmision with them on...if u fail, u get a free try to correct it, just throw on the manifolds and pass that way, like said above, its only a few hours out of a year
