Maybe some good news.

I don't get it; why not just install a shorty header (or LT) at this point? Why spend $500.00 bucks, and a bunch of labor, for no performance gain?

Probably geared more toward the crowd that wants stock style replacement manifolds that wont crack like the Oem units. I don’t think any company has come up with a quality shorty header that doesn’t end up cracking as well and not everyone wants LT.

Makes sense. I'm one of those types; if I'm tearing into something, there better be some improvement for the effort.
