Default Shorty Headers

Hey, what does everyone think about shorty headers.....I have a bassani x-pipe and magnaflow cat back and was wondering whoknows what kind of power increase is associated with shorties..Thanks for your help. I'm thinking about the Ford Motorsport "Tri-Y" headers...ever heard of them??????<edited><editID>Black Horse</editID><editDate>37879.8255671296</editDate></edited>

maybe 5 hp on a na engine. Its not worth it. Some members here suggested header wrap on your stock manifolds to be more of a performance gain than installing shorties.

jeep..have you ever put a set on?...the 20hp..won't be on a near stock engine......more like 12hp...not to mention you have to cut your pipes or buy a new x-pipe...I like the equal lenght shorties for easy of install and not worring about scraping them on speed bumps..now if it a marginal street car then the long tube is the right choice...going to a 1-3/4 shorty will be just as close on hp..
