stupid question but are shorties a direct replacement, size wise as stock headers?

96gt

 

Yes.

 

...the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.

 

Yes, but they don't do anything as far as improved hp. They do sool the heads a little since they aren't cast which holds the heat, but that's about it. Just thought I would let you know before you spent crazy money and thought you were gonna gain 15hp. More like 2

 

ok, thanks guys. just clearing that up
