Default Dynomax headers???

Anyone have dynomaxs ceramic jet hot headers. If so how do you like them and how are they holding up. I like th hooker super competition, but they are more than double the price.... :chevy

On one week and so far so good. Think they are good value for the money.

Two years and about 15,000 miles. Still looking pretty good.

I did have some coating (about the size of a quarter) flake off the #8 pipe this year but that was probably due to running too lean with the new motor. I just touched it up with some of the hi-temp ceramic paint and it seems to be holding.

Overall, very happy with them and good value for $$.

I installed a set a little more than a year ago. They lost their shine pretty quick--now they have a "satin" shine---, but still look good. Can't beat the price!

Have mine on for about a month now. Love them. All plugs accessible front the top of the car now and this is in a Crossfire compartment. Car has noticeable improvement in acceleration and they look great! Good value for the buck in my book.

Been using them for more than a year now and no complaints. Footnotes say they wont fit cars with manual trans. I just mentioned it cause your sig does not indicate what trans you have.

I put them on about 4 or 5 months ago and I have a 4 speed car. No problem so far and they perform much better than the rams horns. The only problem I had installing them was where the clutch z-bar runs under them. I had to put a slight dimple so the pipe wouldn't touch the bar. The dimple is maybe 1/16 inch so I think it just might be the tolerance on my car.

Got a 4 speed and I did not need to dimple it. May be tolerance diff or year diff.
