Adding Headers, where to buy?
I've been reading a lot about long tube headers lately and I was thinking of doing a little modding on my '01 ZO6. Where can I buy them from? What recommendations does everyone have? I know the car will be louder by installing headers, but will I develop that annoying resonance sound when I'm in sixth running 35 MPH or so?

Apart from that, there are a lot of very good headers on the market; I think a lot may depend on who (or where) you're having your install and tune done. Do a search for discussions on LGs, Kooks, Vette Drs/American Racing, Dynatech, Stainlessworks, to mention just a few. Good luck.

I have the Dynatech Supermaxx, they are great. The LG's, Kooks, stainless works, Dynatechs are all very good you can't go wrong
Re the noise from Headers, a lot depends on what Cat-back system you have, and if you are going to run cat convertsers or not. I will tell you this from personal experience..if you run

You will have the drone at certain RPMS with headers..heck even without headers you will get drone with the louder kits.
YOu really drive in 6th gear doing 35MPH???
that can't be good for the Trans for Motor..I don't even use 6th until I am going at least 70
