I just ordered some BBK shorty headers. What all is involved in the installation? I know that with shorties removal of the k-member and suspension is not needed, but what is? Thanks.

I hope you realize with all that work, you will hardly notice anything. Should have gone mid length or longtubes. Same amount of work with bigger gains.

I never installed shorties.

Yeah, well the driver's side stock manifold cracked and I needed a replacement so I could keep driving the car. On my limited budget I don't have the money to fork over for long tubes.

You can get a Longtube for 270 bucks. Yeah they aren't BBK or the top of the line, but as a cheap replacement and makes more hp for the same cost top install Flowtech LT's are a good choice.
