[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 16325549, member: 142081"] I can't answer your question but I can give you some advice. *The only shortie headers that I've seen made for these cars are the JBA and the FRPP headers, both had issues with cracking, JBA even added gussets to help prevent the cracking but they still crack. In my opinion this is reason enough to stay away from the shorties. I went JBA "long tubes" which are actually midlength. Pro's They don't have slip fit collectors like the Bassani's Stainless steel Provide good ground clearance. O2's are in a stock location, so less of a tuning issue. Con's They lightly touched the kmember, a few taps with a sledge fixed that. Another user of them had the same problem but told me with an aftermarket Kmember it was no issue. They make engine removal more difficult, they catch on the kmember going up, they catch on the kmember pad going down. JBA only offers an H-pipe for them, what I did was buy the H-pipe, cut the front half off and splice it with clamps to the rear half of my UPR X-pipe. Ground clearance is actually better than stock manifolds with aftermarket X-pipe. [/QUOTE]
