i have the shorties and I think they are a great compromise between stock and lt, and you might want to plan on future mods before making the decision to go to lt. If you plan on dropping your car i have heard on this forum that it is a pain in the *** getting around without scraping. Plus the bbk's are equal length shorties which help reproduce some of the scavaging effect of the lt which give them their low end grunt.
and OP.. dont spend 300 bucks on some shorties just because u bough a midpipe.. thats LAME your leaving power on the table for sure. u can spend 100 more bucks and get lts and buy a used midpipe for 50 bucks...then sell the midpipe on your car now for 100 and wala

thanks, and it sounds like a good set-up. Any thoughts on how hard it would be to make them work with my slp x? It is a multi-piece unit, so I'm thinking I could alter it and still run the cats...but idk.

When I originally bought the headers i said what the hell and bought a whole new exhaust setup. i wnet with pypes lts, slp cated x, lm2 catback...
the slp pipe was WAY to long and uses the slip-fit design(most headers use ball and socket) so rather than have to cut the pipe to make it work i just traded it plus cash for a vrs o/r x

dude they are a pain in the *** to install. I have the ceramic coated on my stang, and also be prepared to be thigh ting the bolts on them a bout twice a mount at least and yes if your car is lowered you will hit all over the place. Over all it does change the tone of the car I felt gain on the upper rpm range but it is not bad on the bottom. Might be them patriot heads I installed
