95% probably not. You will need mounts. JBA recommends them.

This is referring to the LT's not the shorties.

The factory motor mounts are crap. Mine were in bad shape after 23,000 miles. Changing them out at the same time you are installing headers is a good idea (and cost effective).

Exactly... if adding an O/R h-pipe to a factory exhaust adds 8 - 10 rwhp and installing long tubes with an O/R x-pipe adds 17 - 20 rwhp, how much are the long tubes actually adding? 10 rwhp?
So shorty headers with an O/R h-pipe would probably be somewhere in between... 13 - 15 rwhp? And the difference is... ?

The stock exhaust doesn't really need to be messed with until you get way up in power. It flows exceptionally well for a factory exhaust.

Get motor mounts. Read the instructions. JBA recommends them.

Thanks I will look into this further. How much do the motor mounts run for?

Yours came with instructions???
I just got mine. Theres a bag of bolts and a slight indentation in one of the headers?
Is that there for clearence issues, or did I just get some ones "Christmas/scratch and dent" special?
