Default Header Selection Help

With the setup Im doing everybody has told me to go with LT headers. I already plan to buy a prochamber o/r h pipe with the magnaflow magnapack catback.

My question is: Can I go with shorty headers? The thing is that here were I live there are huge speedbumps and they already affect me so imagine with the LTs. What hp diference is there between Shorty and LTs? Let me know

Shorties don't really add anything but be prepared to do some work, headers are a pain to install.

long tubes are your best way to go if you want performance... if you want shorties i wouldn't get them and just put that money back into a bank account and save up for something later

Yea a good set of LT's is definatly the way to go, but make sure you spend the extra $150 on coated headers, because I didnt and about a year later I've already had to weld a couple of small spots back up do to them rusting through...That's with uncoated BBK headers!!! Make sure they are coated!!
