Yes, I'll be using them again. I was very impressed with his dedication. Send me an email I can save and I'll contact you. Hoping to go back sometime in February. Most likely on a Saturday as before.

EMs you had to pay extra for, then they sent the wrong ones and had to make our own. Also you had to reposition one of the motor mount bolts (turn around) because it hit the header.

I don't know which one is better but I've been very happy with my DRM's. Too bad they stopped making them. They should have sold the pattern to someone to continue making them.
I'll probably just install the EMs on this car because the exhaust is already modified. It's pretty neat that DRM made a header that bolts to the stock system. And as crazy as it sounds, I'm tempted to just keep the DRMs too. After all, I WOULD like to add an LT4 to my stable some day......

All this talk about DRM stainless headers has me wondering if they are the same as what I've got on my '94. I bought Watson Stainless headers from Nick at Corvette Consultant. They're 1-3/4", have air fittings that require very minor modification of the passanger air tube (since the fittings about 1/2" further back, and came with the appropriate adapters to mate to the factory (or aftermarket, for that matter) exhaust. They cost around $950 in 1995. Anybody know if they are one in the same?

I have a set of the stainless works LT's and have had zero problems with them and they are not coated. They actualy seem to disipate heat better then the stock manifolds and I have no heat throgh the floor boards (we will know for sure when summer hits chuck town)

The DRM headers were made by Watson.
