You'll probably pick up 10-15 hp tops. Why are you going with that setup?

If that exhaust will bolt up to your stock manifolds, I'd go that route. Shorties are a waste of $$$ IMO.

LT's here with zero problems with my SS being lowered. The FLP's I had on my SS and the Kooks I just got clear fine.

DO NOT waste your money on shorty headers.

Peace,
Craig.
