I live in California, Long Tubes are illegal, I want the SLP X Pipe (W/ Cats) What shortie headers do you reccommend I get. Also I am not looking on spending over $500 for the headers. Thank You.

Also how much HP gain would I get from the shorties as opposed to Long Tubes?

JBA shorties. they give the most gain of any shorty header on the market. if you get them installed by someone who is actually competent at the installation, you won't have any problems with them.

where in CA are you? be aware that in the LA area they have mobile smog stations where they pick your car out, have EXPERTS do a complete visual inspection on every component and then do a dyno smog test. that SLP midpipe is by no means legal in CA and if you are caught with it expect heavy fines.

seems like no one has them. If They'd give at least 5RWHP and TQ i'd probably buy em. Seems like Ford's short headers only give 1-3hp on N/A applications
