Shorties and MBRP

Who out there has an SS with shorty headers (any brand) and MBRP 3" exhaust??

I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. PM me.

I'm thinking it's the exhaust that might not be very common....alot of people with shorty headers.

We care for the same reason people get a ''another'' CAI when the car already has one ...this can be said for all parts already on a car. You can't stop progess/performance no matter how litltle it is...

How did my muffler question turn into yet another bashing of shorties!?

I am looking for first hand input on MBRP performance exhaust with NO LTs.

and that's why you don't get many replies on threads about shorty headers. You always have someone who either can't afford LT headers or can't have LT saying they're worth it. How much did you gain with them 7-10hp. not worth the effort at there level. The stockers flow just about as well as the shorties.

Once someone mentions shorty headers in their question it always goes into this debate. You didnt mention "no longtubes in your original post" I didnt see you already have shorties...have you checked youtube ? There are a ton of vids to watch.
