How about sound wise? Do the mid-lengths and the LT's sound about the same? Currently I have stock manifolds, an O/R magnafow "x", and a Magnafow cat back, and do not really like the sound. Too loud, and too raspy. I also don't think the 4.6 sounds a little raspy without cams, I want more or a pushrod V8 sound. I have been debating about LT's, and a catted mid pipe, and then getting blower cams to hopefully get the sound I am after. If the mid lengths sound about the same as the LT's, it might make more sense to go that route.

If you know a friend that will give you an inspection, go with the LT.

The only advantage shorties has over LT's are their lesser cost and ease of installation. Even supercharged, a LT header will perform better than a shorty.
