Have to agree, those don't look like they are worth the effort of installing them. Much less the price of gaskets.

Shorties, as the picture is referred to, do not have any "scavenging effect".
And that is what headers are all about. Each tube on a header helps the other cylinder tubes "pull" exhaust from the cylinder quickly and efficiently. The longer the tube, the more scavenging.
Then the cylinder can refill again with a fresh mixture = more power.
However,
Shorties, are basically all show / no go, manifolds.
