Why Are Dynatech Supermaxx So Cheap??
I'm curious??
Are they not as good as the rest or what's the deal why they're so cheap compared to the rest???
Anyone have issues or problems after having them installed and tuned??

Maybe it's a special or something, but that's usually the price of headers alone, let alone cats, x-pipe, the works??
Just want to know why they're so cheap?? are they no good, you usually get what you pay for.
What gives?

In any case, they were used on my car and I think the quality is exceptional and the performance and sound you already know about. JMHO,

....okay, maybe not.
Sounds like a great deal though. I'm trading someone for an X-pipe, and was just going to get the LT's plus the stingers. Depending on how cheap I can get some LT's will determine whether or not I go with the Dynatech.

I've not heard any bad things about the quality of the Dynatech headers. They may not make as much HP as some of the others, but they don't cost a fortune either.

Are not all LT's created equal??
Actually, now that I checked into it even more, only the headers them selves are less the $1K, the full set of pipes are around $1200-1300. sorry for the mix up, I thought they sounded to cheap to be real.

Dynatechs are great headers. I had no issues with them at all. Great performance and an awesome sound. I am going a different route now because I am going with a bigger cube motor so I am going with a 1 7/8" headers.- O'Neal

Dynatech Supermaxx kick a$$. I got mine from Nate at Corvette Garage (a CF vendor) for $1350 during the last GP. Beautiful build quality, excellent packaging and documentation, killer sound and it pulls like a freight train.

I thought the ceramic was for the heat
my experience is ceramic is good for chipping off during install and burning off and rusting after install
but thats jsut me
im in the market for a set of stainless Dynatches or LGs now
