I do have JBA shorties on mine just because the longtubes were getting smashed since my car is lowered a lot and I didn't want to put the heavy cast manifolds back on. Since I went from longtubes to shorties instead of stock to shorties I can't really say whether they are any louder than stock, but I would think that the sound difference would be pretty hard to notice. The sound comes from the crossover, cats/no cats, and the mufflers mostly.
