Question, I'm looking to replace my stock manifolds with headers and am leaning more to getting shorties..the question I have is if shorties will bolt to the stock collector and if its worth the money to switch to headers or stay with stock manifolds..any info on performance changes with headers would be great too

thanks for the input, and to answer that guys question about the collector take it to a exhaust shop if it doesnt fit right and they can probably make it fix for not very much
