Guys this really should give you all some prespective on shorties for our cars. I e-mailed Chris at Borla, he's always been a straight shooter with when it comes to performance ideas and spending money instead of wasting money. I initially e-mailed him for a dyno chart for the shorties - this is what followed
Nick;
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. The shorty headers for the 2010 Camaro make only a few hp more than the stock manifolds. They look much better and are much lighter though. If you have any other questions please let us know.
Thanks,

Chris,
I always appreciate the honest answers I get from you guys. Do you know if the slight additional hp and weight reduction would result in any real noticable performance gain? Also, has any other manufacturer come up with a shorty design to generate power? Or for 700 dollars am I better off looking at another mod?
No problem! Honestly if it was my car I would go with long tubes, full exhaust, good air box and have the car tuned. Most cars will lay almost 50 rwhp more with these simple bolt ons.
