what are the best short headers to get?

 

IMO the ceramic BBK shorties (tuned length)

 

I love my BBK shorties. No other shorties give that deep pulsing sound, as far as I can tell.

 

I'm happy with my JBA's, they are the only equal length ones. No problems with fitment sound good, look good too.

 

I love my JBAs. Great sound and good looks.

I decided to get the JBAs over the BBks because I heard that the BBKs have some 180 degree bends that affect high rpm air flow - I don't know this for sure obviously, but it did come up in my research.

 

bbk and jba for shorties

 

LTs or bust IMHO

 

From reading around quite a bit, LTs are better because they give you more HP, but if you definitely want shorties BBK will give you your money worth.

 

LT's will give more peak HP/TQ, but it is also higher in the rpm range.
ST's will increase peak HP/TQ, and move it lower in the rpm range....more useful for a DD.

Shorties have a better sound to me. LT's sound so raw that no muffler sounds good on the car.
