From what I gather, you could be just as well off getting some used OEM manifolds off a 2000 F-body. From '00-on, GM reworked them to flow better, to the point that shorties won't increase power hardly at all.

Guys, I read AFR 202s, too. I thought WTF???

I am running the same setup as a friend of mine and he is dynoing 30 hp higher with long tubes and not cats, versus my JBA shorites and stock ypipe with cats. He is at 410 rwhp and me at 380 rwhp.

It must be a mis-print. AFR's don't come in 202's, they are 205's.
