Default Anyone using Stainless Works LT1 Longtubes? URL INSIDE

I know the LT header topic has been dragged out. However I came accross these and would like to know if anyone is using them. They look alright??? If you are using, what are you thought on fitment and quality.

Seems like nice enough headers. But most everyone that wants long tubes on a LT1 uses TPIS, Exotic Muscle performace or Hookers that fit a L98 but adapts easily to a LT1. Time will tell if people will want to use them. Bad thing is that they designed them to fit their own exhaust system instead of a more generic fit for the LT1 C4 cars. I for one would think twice having spent hundreds on a B&B system.

The Exotic Muscle LT1 headers are specifically for the LT1. They have the bungs for the air pump and O2 sensors in the correct place (well, sort of, the air pump fittings were off on mine, but I deleted my air pump system anyway). I really like mine, the fit is good and the ceramic coating seems to be holding up. I have put about 15,000 miles on them already since last March.

Which EM headers did you use? They have a couple versions of long tubes I had thought of using them once but so far I still have the shorties and have retained the factory CATs.

At $799.00 a set , they are about $150.00 more than the Exotic Muxcles L/T's
