Run LTs if you can. As always said, short headers = short gain. I say this compared to long tubes. IMO shorties are still a lot better than manifolds. The LT1 manifolds are horrible.

LT'S all the way! If you are going to do the trouble of going to headers just go with the LT'S. IMO the shorties arent worth the trouble.

If you are afraid of ground clearance issues go mids. If ground clearance is not an issue LTs all the way.
