Interested in this too but ive read that the design on the stock manifold is already very high flowing and pretty much a shorty header. I think there was a picture of the two (stock and black heart headers) somewhere on the site and they looked very similar.

Not worth the price- stockers are shortys already, long tubes w/ tune is only way to go for Gen6

waste of time and money unless you are in an emission controlled state/county that requires you to retain factory cats in their OEM position.

They do have 1 7/8" runners which are bigger than the stock runners, but they merge down too quickly to a 2" ID with almost no collector area at the flange. I have a used set that I'm going to add material right above the flange and use a die grinder to match them up to the factory cats; maybe I'll be able to open them up to around 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" ID (?).

Worth a shot since WA follows CA emissions guidelines.

OP At best aftermarket shorties could be worth 5 or less than 5 RWHP so why bother? Even LTs with a tune only give you 15 RWHP.

Sometimes you just run out of options but, the drive to modify is still there. When I lived in California, I was looking at every possible option I could get that would still be emissions legal.
