shorty headers

Who is using shorty headers in here? What did you get, and do you recommend it? I currently have an MRT H pipe and Corsa Xtreme axle backs. Is it going to be too loud ?

The stock ones already look like shortys to me. How much horsepower does one gain from installing shorty headers on these cars? Longtubes are one thing, but are shortys worth it?

Vendors are claiming 10-12 hp from it. Wonder what the real world finding is.

The shortys aren't worth the gain considering how much of a pain they are to install. If you're looking for hp gains go the LT route, but if you're looking for sound consider deleting the resonators.
