Shorty vs LT Headers
I am wanting to buy some headers some time soon reasons being that i want more HP more torque and i would like it to be louder (maybe). I have been reading on here and all i can find is things about LT.
I would like some more info on shorty headers. Are they worth the money? Would i see any gains at all? Would i be able to use my factory y pipe and all that stuff that is behind the manifolds?
I am getting the Superchips 3865 for Xmas also if that has anything to do with it
Thanks for anyones help!

Ok I'm going to give you what I know on this subject but others will weigh in with different opinions. I'll start with the pros of shorties: cheaper, easier to install, keep your cats in stock location (this is important if you have to deal with emissions), more low end torque (others may debate this). Cons: Less HP made, less scavenging (since exhaust gas is traveling a shorter distance due to shorter piping. Pros of LTs: More HP made (some will say its all made on the mid to top end though), better scavenging which means better flow. Cons: They cost more and they require the relocation of the cats (refer to emissions statement earlier). No matter which one you choose you really can't lose in my mind just make sure you get them ceramic coated. And also make sure you ditch that factory Y pipe for a Magnaflow one, it'll actually free up a little more power. And the SC won't do much in the way of headers but the 91 tune is nice

Summit Racing should have the one you want. It's $27 and I would weld it in since it would be a permanent replacement for me. The only reason I don't own one right now is because I'm waiting to do it at the same time as my exhaust so that the guy can weld it in while he's already down there for the exhaust.
