Default shorty headers

ive got the 5.2L, ive done long tubes on a 5.9 i want nothing to do with that ever again. im looking for more low RPM grunt because i haul and tow and offoad. ive been look around and i just dont know which to pick, all the prices are resonable topping out at about $550 but not sure if i want to spend that much, whats the best bang for my buck, without being a cheap bastard

what is my stock exhaust diameter? i think its 2.25 and i have found shorties that will bolt right to the rest of my stock exhaust.... is it worth keeping the rest or should i go bigger the rest of the way

and what brand shories should i go with?

aww come on now, long tubes werent THAT bad on my truck.........OK they were. but whatever, you not going to get any low end from shorties, there is a possibility that you could even lose some, you WILL however see a top end spike in perfomance. if you are looking to get low wnd, re-gear, go to 1.7's, and install that intake manifold i gave you alst week homo.
