Default Shorties

If I get some short tube headers will they bolt up to my down pipes
or will I have to modify them.
I know Long Tube's would give more power but just would like to have
a little more flow than stock manifolds.
Would shorties be worth buying for the MPG increase?
What gains could I expect?
Thanks for the replies

1. Shorties will bolt right up to your stock y-pipe.
2. There might be a small MPG increase.
3. Minimum, someone posted up before saying the dyno showed 5hp
4. No problem

I'd check ebay or the truck boards to see if you can get a good deal

The edelbrock shorties are about $300. Martell bros had them cheap, check the sponsors also.

JBA's are pricey but they are the best shorties. I got the titanium ceramic shorties on a forum for 375$ so shop around.

I've heard the the stock exhaust manifolds on the new GEN III motors flow really well (as well as a set of shorties), that if you want headers, go long-tubes or mid-lengths or don't go at all.
