Are there any advantages to installing shorty headers on a V6?
I was talking with BAMA and they said that installing shorty headers
does not require a tune change.

I would then expect that there is no HP gain with the shorty headers?


Thanks

On NA engine none save for looks and sound.

going with a dual exhaust doesnt require a tune change either, nor does a throttle body, a underdrive pulley, a upgrade ignition. doesnt mean it wont help.

the $100 ebay shorties are a nice improvement for the price. the tubes are larger than the holes in the cast, each cylinder has its own tube, the collectors are alot bigger than the cast iron and they weight about 20lbs less too. then theres the look factor, that alone is worth the $100

amustangrocks is right I had duals before I got the 100$ shorties and the sound changed just enough to notice and they look kickass(:

You would get more power from a colder day than shorties.

O well I'm happy with my choice

Me too, the JBA's with JetHot Sterling coating look sweet and I love the sound with duals and an H pipe!

I just bought a set of shorties for my V6 from American Muscle. I get them installed on Monday!
