Default another shorty thread

before you rid on me read the whole thing. I live in ca so shorty is the only way to go for smog+I have sportlines so it is real low. anyway I am going to be getting some hooker headers for a good price plus my tranny is out being built so the install should be e-z, anyway I had my car dynod a few months back and will have it re-dynod after the headers so in like 2-4 weeks I will have real world numbers on shortys. if anyone has before and after's on shorties I would like like you to post them for all of us out here in cali. thanks

longtubes or bust!!!

find you a shady shop to pass you and get a catted Y. the shorties are a ******* waste and if your car is a 2000+ model they arent gonna give you barely anything since the manifolds flow pretty well.

It will be nice to finally have some factual info on shorty's vs stock manifolds. I can't wait to see the difference - be it big or small. What was your stock pull?

you arent going to see any gains or losses outside of atmospheric or any other natural differences that cant be helped. my guess is your gains will be so minimal you wont be able to tell if you actully gained somthing or if you got a swift gust of wind into the air box while you were dynoing it.
