If you want headers get longtubes. Shorty headers don't really do that much. A few hp at best.

Shorties are better than stock exhaust manifolds. Look for a used set, they are relatively cheap. Shorties do make good power in the upper rpms.

I agree with what "ThePunisher" said. If your gonna get headers dont get shorties. Get LT headers. The instal is more difficult but its Worth it. Dont waist your money on the shorties

Shorties are not any easier to install than LT's. You still have to be able to access the studs, which is difficult on either. For people who don't have the money to go with a $400-600 set of headers the shorties are a great deal. Not only can you get gains with shorties but you don't have to buy another LT specific mid pipe which can run you another $200-400. I would never buy new shorties, but I would look for a used set. I have run FRPP shorties for about 1 year and had great luck with them. Its a good cost effective way to make power, and you will be able to sell the used shorties when your done. I put mine on the net and had 3 buyers within 3 days.
