I have them jet hot coated for a 98, not installed yet, bought direct from jet hot...
Many were purchased by f-body owners last year on a GP,gains varied from 10-20 hp, definitely get them jet hot coated inside and out. Mild steel wont last without an inner coating.Mine are going on with Harland Sharp 1.8 rockers and 02 ZO6 valve springs shortly.Im so glad the experts here know so much, before I made my purchase I researched these thoroughly including viewing at least 1/2 dozen before and after dynos, the least I saw on an F-body was 9hp but 15lbs of torque, thats about $40 per horsepower,compared to LGM longtubes that cost you about $75 per horse and my car has a carb# and will pass Texas emissions which are just as strict as California.

JUNK! If you want headers, purchase them from one of the Forum supporters and get Long Tube Headers! Shorty Headers just are not worth the hasstle.
LT headers or NOTHING!

Oh c'mon Bill, tell us how you really feel!! 
Not all short tube headers are created "equal", and yes, there is a time and place for them on our cars..
I found a set of SS BBB shorties used for low $$, installed them myself for free, gained 12HP, better (louder too) exhaust note, no tuning required..
Very happy w/ my decision.
