Default Installed Dynatech LT's WOW!!

This weekend I installed the Dynatech long tubes and all I can say is wow. The quality of the headers is excellent, the fit is perfect and the sound and performance is awesome. I was suprised at how easy they were to install. Aside from a few cuts, scrapes, and a black eye ( I had an extension fall on my face while under the car..don't ask) the job was easy. Both slid in easy, just had to lossen the starter on the pass side. My only issue is that the tips are a bit uneven at the rear. I'm going to have a friend help my align them as I did all the install alone. they sound perfect with the Z06 Ti's as you can't even tell a difference at idle or cruising. they really sound mean when you mash the gas though. The car pulls much harder through the gears. Can't wait to get it tuned for some extra horses. Best of all, I got no codes from the dic. Really happy with the headers, would recomend to anyone.

Get a jack and a board that will fit in the exhaust recess... then loosen the catback and mid-pipe connections. Then jack up the tips until they're where you wan them and level. Then tighten the crap out of everything.

Instead of a jack I used clamps to hold the wood to the tips. Then I tightened the crap out of it!
