What a difference! I bought JBA headers cause they were the first out. What a mistake. I guess I forgot that the first ones out usually have bugs to work out. I installed the JBA headers about six months ago. From the day I installed them they hit almost everything under the hood. These are Shorties too! I called JBA ans they said it is not possible. This car literaly had under 1K miles on it when I did the headers. I drove on them until I saw that Doug Thorley made a set. I had Thorleys on my Camaro and LOVED them. The fitment took less than 1 hour and the finish in ceramic was bitchin.

So I bought the Thorleys and pulled the JBAs off. Install on the thorelys took about the same but they cleared the motor mounts and frame by at least a full inch. So far I think they perform the same but now I don't hear rattling under the hood at idle and under load.

Cudos to Thorley!!!

I don't understand why you'd want to change out the stock headers twice for shorties. Why would you NOT go with long tubes for extra power?

shorty's are pretty useless compared to the LTH.

Timmay!!!

LT are the only way to go for power. But you'll still run into clearance issues with L/Ts as well as possibly having to remove them anytime you want to drop the tranny(according to a credible source)
