LT's are not worth the money, install, hassle! I got 8 rwhp when I was NPI with shortys. LTs won't give you much more.LT's are a pain in the a$$! The install sucks, ground clearance issues suck, they cost a lot more, you need O2 extensions and a new mid pipe, and when doing clutches, rear mains, and/or throw out bearings you're going to have to at least remove the passenger side header. There's a lot more $hit to deal with LTs and it's not worth the few ponies more they give. Shortys FTW!
