Does anyone know if they are and shorty style headers that are the same length as the manifolds or very close? My passenger side manifold has a crack in it and rather replace it with another manifold was looking at shorty headers. Thanks for the input.

Don't you think you should state what engine and which shorty headers you're referring to?

The easiest path would be to find a replacement manifold. The flanges on the Shorty headers are going to be different and the angle of the flanges is also different. To connect up to a pair of Shorty headers will require some exhaust work…

I think Edelbrock TES and Hooker 4050 makes or made a shorty direct fit for Monte SS's.

But that was many moons ago

They used to make direct fit headers that bolted up to the factory exhaust and retained all of the emissions. Stopped making them 10 years ago as G body support declined.
