My brother wants to do shorty headers on his 2004 Silverado 1500 RCSB 4x4 truck. He doesn't need top of the line, just something decent quality?

I recommend the highest quality, made in USA, long tube headers. They are expensive but last a long time. As far as shorties go, leave the stock manifolds on. Shorties are for engine swaps where you can't fit stock manifolds or LT headers.

I see zero benefit from shorty headers.

Thanks guys, after 170k miles something let go and hes swapping engines and it was a while in there thing. I think hes swung off that hearing your words and towards converting from belt fan to 05 electric fans.

e-fans would be a better benefit than shorties even though the gains seen from e-fans is not much. Does he have a custom tune? I would spend $500 on that before e-fans or shorty headers.
