Default Monza (Ebay) Headers cam in *pics*

These came in today and I have to say for 230.00 bucks shipped i'm impressed. Now I didn't go cheap on everything the Ported fast 92 setup should be here tomorrow.

Interesting. I had an off-brand header on a different vehicle and it was fine, though it did start to rust. Suggest have it ceramic coated - though that might double the price!

Typically its the install that is a PITA and modification is required. Keep us posted when install happens.

That's more like it

The only reason other headers are so much more money is because its vette, these are probably not much better or worse then the others.

I just installed similar ones on Monday. They are by a company called top speed pro one. They look identical to the Monza and went in with ZERO issue and the sound amazing.

looks like plenty of clearance. Did they go in from the top or bottom?

Monza also sells a matching x-pipe for around the same price as the headers.

There the same headers, Topspeed just sells them, although I found them from an Ebay vendor way cheaper.

I'd be concerned with that huge all at once 4 into 1 merge and neck down before the collector. Would like to see some legit before and after numbers on these.

Im not concerned, I wasn't about to spend $1500 on set of headers and an xpipe nor am I tryng to break any horsepower records. I'm sure they're way better then those manifolds.

The manifolds on our cars are actually deceptively good. Back in the day I went from bone stock to LG Pro Long Tubes, no cats, Corsa exhaust, Callaway Honker CAI, Powerbond Underdrive Pulley, and a 160* thermostat. Saw a whopping 24 RWHP gain, then another 16 RWHP after tuning.

Point is you may or may not see a lot initially. But the further down the road you go, the more gains you'll see (cam, heads/cam, FI) until you find the restriction point on them.
