Default shorty headers

i want to go with shorty style headers, but all the shorty headers i see doesnt look like they would bolt up to my existing exhaust, if i bought shorty headers would i have to modify my exhaust pipes? or should i just go with long tube headers and cut and weld the exhaust pipes?

it looks like these patriot clipster headers would bolt up on the left one, but on the right header it looks like the collector comes down too far?

anyone put shortys on their stock exhaust? or is it even possible?

ok stock exhaust bolts up to stock exhaust manifolds. headers are longer. even if they are shorties. you have to take it to a muffler shop and get new pipes.

no big deal pretty much a cakewalk to have it done.

And you get to drive it there with open headers [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Tell them your on the way to the muffler shop right now.

if that doesnt work its only a 10 buck fix it ticket or something like that no big deal.

I drove mine 30 miles at 60 to 75mph to get to the muffler shop it was great!
