Obx vs lpp shorties
Hey peeps, I need some help between two sets of headers i'm stuck choosing between. I've decided to go with shorty headers for my 2002 Sierra 5.3L vs long tubes due to installation factors. Which between the two in your opinions would you all go for? LPP or OBX?
And correct me if i'm wrong but reason im going with the shorties is because they simply replace the factory manifold and can bolt on to my factory exhaust which is still in a good shape. On the other hand, the long tube setups look as if i'd need to do quite a bit of exhaust modifications. Am I correct?

Shorties are a direct bolt in, but are only good for looking like you have a set of headers in there. If you're in Cali where emissions are are as strict as Hitler's regime, then go for the shorties, as they may yield 5-7 hp for you. Otherwise, LT's are the only way to go.

I'm afraid that if I get long tubes for a truck I'll only keep for another 4 years or so, this 300$ project will end up costing me 600$ plus shipping plus whatever it costs to have someone do the welding on the long tubes. It almost sounds like it could run me up to 1000$ or more with hiring someone for the welding.
Another thing... do the long tubes reduce ground clearance?
