You shouldn't need anything to connect shorties to your exhaust system. However, if you're doing this for performance improvements, don't waste your time. Shorties won't add very much power, possibly not even 10 hp more. Sell them and buy long tubes if you're looking for a worthwhile performance increase.

One thing that I remember is that I had to get some bolts to make the header to exhaust connection. The stock bolts would not budge out of the manifolds.
good luck on your project
