looking for some shorty headers

[svtstnglvr]

I'm running a magnaflow X pipe and was wondering if anyone knew a good set of shorty headers I could run, thanks

Whats the point w/ shorty's..from what a here the gains or next to nothing.

There are no horsepower gains from shorties! That's why knowone makes them.

Headers (any length) aren't big hp additives for the modular, certainly nowhere near like what they are worth on a GTO/Corvette engine. The LTs do improve the mid-range torque, and ceramic-coated ones (any length) will keep your engine bay cooler.

We're going to find out soon on how much headers are worth! I'm doing a tune with my car before and after installation of kooks LT's and x-pipe within the next two weeks!

That will be good.

Let us know how this turns out.

I have ceramic coated JBA shorties, a MRT H pipe and FR500 catback. The shorties route heat away form the rear cylinders better then the stock manifolds and dissipate heat better. I don't know of any other benefits, but that alone may help it live longer.

would I be able to fit long tube headers with my x pipe?

Yes, but you will have to cut the X and weld into it about 3-4" in front of the cats.

damn, what if I go with the bassani mids

Same difference -- you would have to have a Bassani X pipe (the ones that come in pieces to swap out the cats or o/r power pipe). Get a good welder; the welding is no big deal on the Mag X -- I cut into mine, welded and it works fine/no leaks.

cool, thanks moonlt I'll probably end up going with the bassani mids cause there ceramic coated

i agree.. no huge hp gains unless your pushing big #'s. But, they do make a 4valve sound MUCH better and smoother.
