One of the supporting vendors, Vettesbydesign.com is running a good sale on Melrose. They might be pricier than others, but they're my choice...when I have the cash freed up.

...... and so is another vendor, Exotic Muscle, who is having a group purchase discount on their headers as well. They're currently knocking $100 off their retail price. The sale price is now $671. They also offer header extensions as an option. They will allow the headers to bolt right up to a stock or Corsa exhaust without the need for any cutting or welding or fabricating.

The extensions go for $270 and are ceramic coated just like the headers. Random tech cat's are yet another option as well for the extensions, but they're pricey...

EM is only making 10 sets of headers so it's first come, first serve. I've already placed my order. If you're interested, you may want to place yours as well before the sale ends.

The EM's are generally regarded as one of the best fitting, and best built headers for our cars. I've yet to hear of any complaints about their quality, fit or finish.

You can find the thread here:

Hope that helps

Only reason I didn't get the EM's is there was a 4 to 6 week wait after you purchased them. Call jet hot, they have the hookers for $535 coated.

No, I'm putting mine in next week so I can't give you much, but there are tons of accounts of pleased people on the forum with the Hookers. Here is the tech tip.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=271&TopicID=2

Only thing out of the ordinary is, you have to flip the engine mount bolt, which is supposedly easy, and use the supplied spacers to mount your alternator brackets to. Also for the o2 bungs you can use this so you wouldn't have to weld on your newly coated headers.

Here's my parts list. You wouldn't have to worry about converting to the heated o2 because the '94 came with it already, so a lot of those parts wouldn't apply.
