in my opinion shorty headers are not worth the money or metal they are made in. they flow just a hair better than a stock manifolds. id stick with manifolds or long tubes
Thanks for the input yall. I had rather go with full length but then I would like to use side pipes since it is a Stabber. I thought shorties would help. It actually had side pipe covers so I could simply turn the pipes out with full length headers. The only shorties I could find for our cars are 1 1/2 inch. Also I have GT40Ps that are being worked that wll further complicate matters. The short plugs from Accel are 10$ a piece!! Wish I'd known that to begin with.
Back in the 70's I had side pipes on my Falcon. I put a S pipe between the header and side pipe. It didn't hurt enough to feel the performance on the street. Easy to uncork if needed.
