Has anyone installed shorty headers?

I've been thinking about installing some shorty headers but idk if it will be worth it or what the HP gain will be. If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it.

Many LT's are 49 state legal, really gotta ask the manufacturer. There are shorty catted xpipes you can buy to keep cats

Go Long tubes for sure.. Kooks long tubes w high flo catted x pipe, Steeda intake and a 93 octane dyno tune got me 446rwhp an 415rwtq. I would keep stock axle backs tho I went w bassanis n it's WAY to loud! These cars scream with long tubes n high flow mid pipes

Really good read by wbt when he went with BBK shorties:

Long story short, he seemed to have made just as much power as the LT guys, but spent way less. I'd say shoot him a PM for the pros/cons of shorties, as he did quite a bit of testing.
