Looking for Headers to get

So my truck is a 92 5.8 truck 2wd. I have stock manifolds with 1 hollowed out cat. No emissions where I live in North Ga. single 3 inch pipe from the cat all the way to a flow master 40 series. It has a nice sound. Not extremely loud. I want it to be louder and I love the sound of the muffler and I love headers too. Just looking to see if I should get shorties, or full length and what are the advantages of both. I do want to keep the muffler. Thanks!

Get full length. I love mine on my 7.5L but I have to take them off to put mid length ones in to pass smog. California Laws

Long tubes make more power across the board and will yield the best pedal feel at cruise.
