Haven't used them, but they look just like plain old shorty headers IMO. Waste of money if you ask me unless you're looking for minimal gains for high dollar banks name shorties.

Well, theres plenty of threads on it on this site, but long story short, the new style stock exhaust manifolds are much more effecient than before. You may pick up 5 HP over stock, hardly worth it IMO for over $600 for shorties. You can pick up a set of long tube pacesetters for much less and increase that that HP by 25 commonly.

Just do a search for shorties....samething without the banks name. The search is in the upper right hand corner of the page. Long tubes will increase Hp and Tq thru the entire RPM range.
