To be honest you're not going to see much benefit from shorties. Is there a reason you don't want long tubes?

Ease of installation not looking for huge power gains and I like the look.

Fair enough. I had a set of Headman's years ago and I was fairly happy with them. They didn't cost a lot either.

Though it may seem obvious, you should specify you're not looking for air fittings on your replacement set? If you're just looking for better appearance -- with the same functionality -- I think there's still a company that polishes stock manifolds. Mc-something. I just saw it the other day. Was kinda surprised they are still in biz.
