Search around there are several on here that have gains after the switch.
The stock manifolds are almost exactly like shorties and they have been shown to have almost no gains. I'll try and find a pick of them polished without the heat shields on, look exactly like a pair of edelbrock shorties. I have heard a couple other stories of exhaust shops not wanting to do LT's for the same mumbo jumbo they gave your dad.
My track times improved, and that is all I know. With my stock cats in place my exhaust is not too loud at all. I have magnaflow too, and it just got a little deeper.
Race cars all have long tubes why not you?
Good luck man.

Now my dad won't let me get them. 
Could you guys post up some vids of you exhaust with LTs, maybe a before and after? I know just as you guys and everyone on LS1tech know LTs are much better than shorties, but I'm in a tight spot right now with my dad. He's convinced all of this is true because he talked to a "senior tech."
