Finished up installing my BBK Tuned Length Shorty Headers over the week end. Wow major top end pull. These things are awesome. Here's a complete install article. http://www.stangfreak.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=1

Do other shorties have the dent for the steering shaft? Do think it is a big deal performance wise? Power gains?

I was just wondering the same thing.. those crimps in the pipe look like they would be

No other way to get the steering linkage around them without the crimps.

How much did those headers cost you? And do you happen to know if they have a CARB EO#?

I have heard they are as much of a PITA to install as long tubes, so unless you are one of the unlucky cali or other smog nazi state owners skip them and get long tubes.

Just my .02

Glad you like them. I still havent got mine installed. While they are still short headers, they actually have a lot more length to them than the crappy FRPP ones or the JBAs. I havent seen a "real" dyno test of the BBKs but I hope the gains are good.
The only dyno numbers I ever saw were the ones that 5.0 magazine made up. At a specific rpm they had tq dropping and hp going up. Thats impossible if you understand the relationship between tq and hp.

Nice pics!

We are having a dyno day out at S.T. Motorsports in San Bernardino on June 25. I have a baseline dyno run prior to the install and can give you an update on what I got after the 25th.
