    You may be a little low for your current mods, I would expect you to be making around 240-245 but you're still pretty close. Header choices is like ice cream. Chocolate/vanilla, which is better?

    I like long tubes.

    Talking Forced to get Shorties?

    I was forced to buy FRPP shorties and the matching Magnaflow Cobra Hi-flow X-pipe with rear CATS deleted. Wouldn't recommend it - I only pulled 443 RWHP and run only 11.80s in the quarter. You should spend $2,000 for LT exhaust kits and gain another 20HP - your best deal .

    They both perform about the same but the SW are easier to install and provides clearance for the starter.
