They help by themselves. They make other improvements work even better.

Longtube's will give you the most significant improvements, but yes you will slightly loose ground clearance. Headers will give you a little bump in power as well as helping your car breath, best to revamp the whole exhaust when doing headers(if you haven't already modified exhaust).

I got the edelbrock shorties in my 84 and i could feel the difference. ALOT. they helped free up the backpressure even better with the flowmaster very powerful combo if you ask me
