I think edlebrock only makes shorties. You will get better results if you go long tubes.

i have them and i like them a lot. they make two types of headers. one is a shorty header and the other is what THEY call a long tube header system. it's more of a mid length. it's called the edlebrock TES system. it comes with the headers and the y-pipe. they are also stainless steal but i would recommend getting them coated anyways. before i got them i ran a 16.00 at the track w/ airaid intake and programmer and 2-chamber flowmaster. after the headers i ran a 15.3e.t. there is no rubbing and i haven't had any problems.

I had the TES system on my 94 Sonoma, the y-pipe made the difference. It was a lot larger diameter than stock. I did have a problem with one of the heat shields, one of the spot welds popped and I had to remove the header, remove the heat shield, and weld up the holes in the tubes where the spot welds were. After that, no more problems. It made a significant difference in power. Shorties, in my opinion, aren't worth the small gain over the full-size truck stock manifolds.
