Is there a reason you are set on shorties? rather than longtubes?

Don't waste your time with the shorties. Save some more $$ and go with some long tubes.

x3 on the longtubes. I have JBAs and an OR H and it sounds/performs awesome. Shorties only add like less than 5hp? whereas LTs add from 15-22hp. And they sound better IMO.

I installed BBK ceramic shorter headers on my 2008 mustang. I am very satified with the sound and looks. No problem with heat or passing inspection here in N.C.
