Glad I got rid of my muffler delete when I added headers. That's definatley not for me but as long as you like it that's all that matters.

Glad I'm not your neighbor...

I absolutely love it. I get looks even more than I did before. I love the attention my car gets. She actually demands it......LOL

At Classic Chevrolet just before the Laps for Charity drive on 9-11, a few of the guys with superchargers and various after market exhausts reved up their engines, CamaroCowboy reved up his and we couldn't hear anything else's (we were standing pretty close to his car).....

They are maybe 1/4" - 1/2" lower right at the collector flange. No problem with scraping whatsoever.

Heres my baby on the dyno last weekend....

There was a friend of one of the mechanics there talking to his dad on the phone and when they started running my car his dad asked him if he was at the airport.....classic.......

What did your car dyno at before the header install? Automatic or manual? The headers look like a very nice quality, and for the price they are definitely hard to beat.

CamaroCowboy · 10-06-2010, 07:28 AM

I didn't dyno my car stock. I do know that the average for an M6 SS si about 370 - 380 normally......so not to bad gains form just headers and a CAI

Iwantone2 · 10-06-2010, 02:05 PM

Agreed man. Some people are looking to substantiate their uneccassry spending habbits. No need to buy over priced stuff all the time. If you do good for you, just no need to bash us little pions for saving a few dollars. If you have money to blow send me a check written to cash (thanks in advance). Its great to see more than one choice, we know we risk the lack of customer service for saving up front but it is our choice, get over it. Companies copy competitor designs in just about every market to some extent. They copy it and try to make it better or equal for the less price. It happens everywhere. Look, there is only so many ways to bend LTs and fit them in a car. I could run around looking at pictures of every LT out there and find other LTs that appear to be "stolen copies". And what about Chrystler, they stole parts of their modern V-8 design (the current HEMI) from GM and admitted it. I know this is a GM site but we're not going to stop buying HEMI's now because they're thieving scumbags are we? I could rant about websites too, several vendors have websites that are nerly identically formatted the same. Guess what someone design the original format and the rest "stole" it and modified to suite their needs to save paying a graphic designer from scratch to develope one. Same goes for this forum, we're all scum for supportting C5 now because they "stole" this forum format?

To the OP, thanks for the report and details.
