JBA makes the BEST shorties as far as headers go, but they are expensive. BBK makes fantastic shorties and longtubes, which are available at Summit Racing.

with long tubes hell have to get a diff H/X pipe, with shorties the stock one is fine. Are MAC's shorties a descent header as well?

I went with flowtech equal length shorties and they made a nice difference, of course i also went with the BBK X-Pipe with cats.
