Default Cam/Head question

I have a stock LS1. Installed the LS6 Manifold but still have the Stock Corvette exhaust manifold due to living in Cali . questions is how much will i be hurting my cam/Head install due to the exhaust. I heard that these manifolds flow just as good as shorties. Thanks

If you can get an inspection sticker I think it's definitely worth it.

Maybe 20-30 hp, 2 or 3 tenths.
