Default shorty headers

Do shorty headers give any performance gains over stock cast iron? They look better but are they worth the money? Who makes the best ones? I want to keep my stock exhaust so this would have to be a bolt on setup. :cheers:

They will be lighter than stock manifolds, but as for performance you would be better off buying long tubes.

By themselves, they only save weight, the flow isnt that much better. But you will probably get about 5hp. Compare that to 15hp from longtubes.
