hey, thanks. Really for a number of reasons:

1) RWHP and RWTQ numbers were neglible for DT shorties for the LS3 application, actually were slightly higher than long tubes for torque.
2) Not planning on supercharging
3) Long tube clearance issues. My car is lowered and a number of people have complained of scraping the headers
4) cost--shorties were several hundred less
5) ceramic-coated polished, so won't rust
6) look great and sound great
7) will have plenty of HP without them

I hope to be in the 450-460 RWHP range when tuned.
