Getting my FMS shorties this Tues.Will they install without lifting up the motor?Im hoping it will add Performance AND SOUND! Its a stock system with the exception of Flowmasters,At 75 mph its as quiet as a warm summer breeze.Hope this will change it a bit.

With shorties you wont have to raise the motor they just set in nicley. So you still have the stock H pipe? If you go with an off road system it will get much louder.
