Default Shorties sound?

I don't know if anyone has asked this one yet, but do shortie headers sound any different from the CI manifolds?
From what I've read, they don't improve perfomance too much, but they gotta sound a little different right?

I noticed a light but distinctive difference. Wish I had LT's but the shorties are doing something for me

I didn't notice any difference with my shorties, but noticed a huge difference with my long tubes

no real difference, I can now hear the exaust gases pulse under load, I thought it was a leak at first, but after checking everything I couldn't find a leak

Noticed a difference with the shorties.....mostly torque and a lot better throttle response.

As far as sound....it will sound deeper.
