I was wondering if anyone has put on a set of BBK's Shortie headers. I really would like to know if this mod is worth the money and if they are a real pain to install.

I heard that ALL shorties aren't worth squat and don't even bother with 'em.
Get the Long Tubes insted or just leave the stock ones on.

They have to add something, but LTs have TOO many problems with like the MIL Es, and it throwing codes and setting off the enginle light, and reducing lowend tork...to me they just are not worth it with the 4.6L, I have them on my 66 but I have alot of power and I need them but the 4.6 only makes 260 HP, so thats why there is not a big power increase, yet the overall tork and power curve gets better, but still for $600+ thats just crazy, you can do alot more with your money.Anyways I say go for it, thats what I am going to buy for my 04 later on so I still have good lowend and a little more mid and topend, for less than half the price of LTs and WAY easier to install and you also do not have to replace the mid pipe like you would with LTs...Just my opinion.
