I remember when I originally did my headers and put some on that had come with my car. I had bad rubbing against the steering shaft. Finally broke down and just got some BBK shortys and it solved my problem. Sounds like you are going with manual steering to solve your problem though. Post up a video of the exhaust when you find some time.

is there much difference in shorties vs longtubes for NA purposes. because it maybe easier to just get shorties although i'd have to find a new mid pipe as well.
on the flip side. another steering shaft would help with steering response im sure. ugh. decisions.

Yes. With the longtubes you will have more low-end torque, pick up a few mph on the top, plus they will sound awesome. Shorties you won't pick up the low end torque with and maybe pick up 5-10hp.
