I had the B&B Shorty on my Z06, it saved weight but doesn't flow any better than stock (same RWHP and RWTQ as stock Z06 manifolds). I went with the FLP system since it includes the X-pipe and off-road pipes should you desire to run without cats, plus no welding so I can return to stock easily. FLP and TPIS are IMO the best L/T choices for these vehicles, other opinions will vary :)

Les :cheers:

FLP and Belanger are the best long tube header for your needs. The shorties do nothing. Well, almost nothing. And for the price of shorties, you can have a nice set of longs. Shorties replace your stock manifolds with no modifying, but they produce almost no power. Most long tubes require cutting and welding at the cats, but are worth the effort because of their gains. FLP's are a no cut, no weld system. It replaces your manifolds, cats and stock H-pipe and bolts up yo your present exhaust system, whether stock or aftermarket. FLP's are the hot item. Please go to our website for more info or you can call or email us too.
