"SHORTY'S"

Jason, I heard from another member that the factory shortys are the best flowing shortys and probably won't be beat by some aftermarket ones, granted I don't know how accurate it is, just what I heard, IMO long tubes is the answer :cheers:

Go long tubes since we don't have to worry about visual inspections here in Tx. LT's to a y-pipe to a high flow cat to a cat back exhaust. :thumbs: Or forget the cat. :D

But I quote John Lingenfelter's book "Chevrolet realized that a better exhuast system was worth the power, which is why the Corvette was given stainless tubing headers. While the short, 1 1/2-inch tubes may look wimpy, I use them in all of my performance applications because they cost little in the way of power"
By this I don't say they are the best, but they aren't terrible just trying to give a good tip if you are really trying to save the $$$.
