Shorties vs. Stock 2kT/A pipes Alrighty guys, Im wondering what to do bout headers, and the only thing that I can do in this damn state of CA is shorties.
Are they really worth it, and Im not just talking the HP rating. Im NOT going to be driving from dyno to dyno to find out how much it added, Im more of a low end torque kinda driver, as I rarely ever see 90+ MPH at all.
Will I loose the low end becouse of the increased flow? I know that I saw a HUGE difference with the Corsa, which was great, but will the added flow kill the low end?
I dont drag her, and not into street racing all the stupid ricers, it's all about me and the car when were togeather on the road.
Thoughts???

Re: Shorties vs. Stock 2kT/A pipes Truth be told, many have seen no gains at all with shorty headers over stock manifolds. If you’re not going to get midlenghts or long tubes then you might as well just save your money <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: Shorties vs. Stock 2kT/A pipes They'll certainly help make the engine compartment look much better if you do a lot of car shows. Not a lot of gain power wise vs. stock but nothing looks better than headers on a performance engine! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Shorties vs. Stock 2kT/A pipes What about the edelbrock Tubular Headers?
They've got CARB EO numbers, so they're legal in California..
Is there something wrong with them that I don't know about?

Re: Shorties vs. Stock 2kT/A pipes Hmm going back on edelbrock's site, I see that 98-99 ( I've got a '99) can use Edelbrock part #6672C, whereas the 00-01 can only use 6573C.. 6573C's are shorties..
Anyone know if the 6672C's are mids/long tubes?
