Some people say that your spark plugs are harder to change w/ the E/L shorty's. I would go w/ BBK U/L or FRPP stainless steel. You can get the FRPP shorty's Jet-Hot coated from summit for $310.

they lied about the spark plug thing. id stick with shorty or e/l. anything else you might have to jack your motor up and then you have to worry about bottoming out.

Yes they will give you power over stock headers! Get the Jet hot coated ones, trust me the ceramic's & polished equals both crap their finish after time... the jet hots I have yet to hear someone complaining about the finish!@

The difference in power between the equal or unequals is minimal. If I were doing shorty's, I'd go w/ ford b/c they're stainless steel and Jethot coated. If you don't want to pay that much, then go w/ BBK....but if you send them off to Jethot, it'll end up costing you the same or more.

90% chance it would prob cost you more to send them away to get coated.
