I have FMS ceramic shorties and there excellent quality but i also paid like 300$ for them, personally i wouldnt go with equal length shorties you only get a few more horse and there harder to install

AbsoFREAKINlutely, and it didn't take any longer for me than regular headers, of course again i had the motor mounts loose so i could replace them.

Where bolt-ons are concerned, get every HP your dollar can buy. I personaly would rather spend a little more of my time installing a bolt-on if it get's me a few more ponies.Especially if i'm going to do the bolt-on to begin with.

But that's me

if it was up to me get LONG TUBES PLEASE. took me like 3 days to install BUT OH MAN IS IT WORTH IT. those babies light my stang up, turned her into a beast, with that offroad H pipe and catback, she pulls real hard in every gear, a lot of upper end HP.

MAC equal length shorties, 1-5/8" diameter, worked good for me and I've got an auto too! It's hard to find long tubes for autos.
