    i lost power when i first did shorties on my truck. after re-doing the exhaust i gained 8 hp and 15 ft lbs of torque haha. NOT worth it...luckily theres a blower on the truck, so i didnt really get hurt feelings

    Why get the shortys at all though? You won't really gain any power or sound....Get a set of hi-flow cats instead

    ah, well if you're replacing them anyways, shortys will be fine. Anything is better than stock :peace:

    just in case you dont know the shorties are a bigger pipe and are shorter than the OE manafolds...so you would have to add pipe.....but theyre not worth the price.
