Anyone got good exahust clips of Shorties?

Trying to find one (specifically BBK shorties on a Corsa catback) but any works. I just wanna hear what shorties sound like with an aftermarket exhaust

Most sound comes from my Hiflows and outlaw axelback. Shorties typically give a little louder deeper growl by themselves. I added hiflows at the same time so cant say what shorties did for sound.

There is a reason for that ... Shorties aren't worth getting, can't go wrong with kooks headers

Yeah, maybe 5 hp and some bottom end tq+ some sound. Add Tune and hiflows get 32 hp, only 10 or short of LT'S. But by themselves no.

There are 3 with DT shorty's. Not BBK but the sound will be similar. As everyone else has eluded to, LT's are the way to go.

My suggestion is to go with LTs. I went with American Racing Shorty Headers with stock cats because I live in CA and they are one of the few if not the only ones that are CARB certified in 50 states. I did notice a slightly deeper growl, but not enough to warrant the money spent. Of course it's your decision, but if it were legal, I would have gone with LTs & high flow cats.

The ONLY time I recommend shorties is if the person lives in California and have to deal with CARB regulations. You can pick up a little bit of power with them, but the dollar per HP gain is just not worth it when compared to long tubes.

Best regards,
