when I had them on nbs there wasn't much difference, maybe a slight bit louder under the hood but otherwise not much difference at all really

I had them on my 08 5.3 and I could not tell a bit of difference with power or sound which is the main reason I wanted headers. I was already running a straight pipe and it wasn't loud at all. I finally got lt headers with ory and it sounded so badass. it even felt like it had more power but it was street tuned so I never had it on a dyno. imo, shorty headers are a waste of money especially if you are keeping the cats.

Were they JBA's or just shortys in general???

to be honest, I don't remember. I wanna say they were jba's but not sure. I wouldn't put shorties on again tho. I have had pacesetter on that truck and now texas speed headers. both fit great but the texas speed headers are probably better quality. no much more expensive either

I have their ceramic coated shorty headers. I'll be honest I mainly purchased them for looks and some sound. I have no complaints about them at all.

I know you are more into Low/show than go but did you notice any difference in power or throttle response or MPG???
