Headers
i found these on summit, i know they arent flashy or high dollar oranything too nice but i just want a gain in HP and, torque. and before everyone starts yelling about them being shorties I KNOW, i know longtubes will make bigger gains but A) i dont have the deepest pockets around, and B) i can not fit longtubes with my T18, the collector will hit my slave cylinder and my bell housing, trust me ive tried. Anyway the thing i wanna know, is do these look like they'll take a pretty good beating? like see a mud hole and maybe not see a good wash for 4 days to 4weeks? just give me your honest opinion

Shorties will produce good gains over manifolds as long as you also ditch the stock Y-pipe and converters. Stainless headers will last forever while the painted versions only make it 2-3 years if you live in northern or coastal climates, and the paint on these will flake off the first time you get everything up to operating temperature.

If you don't have bad winters where there is a lot of salt like here in Ohio, the painted ones would be fine. But still if you think there is a risk of them rusting out, id go with the stainless JBA's. I have 2 sets of painted headers on 2 different trucks that were installed last year. Needless to say they aren't in the best shape.
