Ah, I see now. I somehow filtered out the midlength ones last time I checked. And those have CARB exemption?

yeah, the Doug's are CARB approved but i dont think its worth it for me to change to. If i was to do over i'd go to the mids.
The Dynomax does not have carb approval but they do have the cats, are modular and you can keep stock tubing intact to change back. But they're about $1500

Its probably not worth it for you. You can definately make power in other ways for 1500. I bet there is only 5-10 rwhp difference between the shorties and mid-lengths.

I also want mid length headers but for 5-10 H.p. I'll wait when I do more Mods Cam or F.I.
