i too am in AZ! i'm just thinking - i paid $4000 for the car - do i really want to put almost $2000 of exhaust work on the car? seems kinda foolish to me at this point, especially since i really really want a C5!
not to hijack - but PM me - you need to get involved with our local group!

I installed these a few weeks ago on my '96 auto...
They are excellent in fit and quality (the headers). The only caveat is with the extensions if you plan to fit them to an auto transmission. The flanges need to be relocated about 3" rearward to fit. This basically means having the flanges cut and the two pieces welded. Then it'll fit great. There is also the issue of the AIR fitting on the passenger side. It's not EM's problem. Just something of which to be cognizant.

I'm pretty sure that's the case. We installed these on a buddies cal a while back. He did not order the extensions, and with a bunch of cutting, wemade it fit. He used dynatech cats.

How is the spark plug clearance for changes? In the pictures it looks tight. Not like the factory manifolds but still tight.

I'm playing phone tag with him now trying to get in. I talked to the "boss" and she said to go ahead. This is after she "let" me order wheels Saturday. (She's really not that way, just teasing her.) She said she wanted the extra wheels so we could mount the autocross tires to them!
