Default Shorty's or LT headers???

Recently did cam swap to 232/234 112LSA. Really like the performance and sound. I already have cat backs on it. Looking to get headers. LT's are sooooo pricey. Will I get as good a performance increase with shorty's as with long tubes? If not anyone out there know where I can get a reasonable deal on some long tubes?? Seems that because the name corvette is involved the price goes up 2 fold!!!

Shortys are not much better than stock manifolds. Go LT and don't look back.

if you really want to compensate for that cam and let you car breath A WHOLE LOT BETTER you have to go with LTs...from what i've heard shorties are worthless and the cam won't benefit much from them.
