I agree. I got my shorties about 5 years ago after I had a cat-back and mid pipe. I did not feel any difference in power or in sound. Makes me wish I knew about LTs and would have gotten those instead. Luckily I knew a mechanic and he did not charge me that much but personally I do not think they are worth it.

So does anyone recommend getting shorties? I just ordered a high-flow H and I was thinking shorties would come next (because of the clearance issue as well).

Well I'm just starting to modify my stang. Its basically completely stock except for a K&N Air Filter. So should I just put off hedders completely for right now and focus on something else?

Both Shorties and Longtubes are the same PITA to install. 5 peak hp is not worth the effort when LT's can give up to 20+
