I haven't had any personal experience with them, but the Corvette shop I go to prefers them for quality and fitment. I chatted with them briefly about it when I was considering headers. They do everything from full resto's to tuning and racing, and the owner and employees seem very knowledgeable and friendly.
In other words I trust them and they're about the only thing I'll drive to MD for. =)

I have a set, they're good quality. The headers are steel, their mid-pipes are stainless steel 2.75".
Tried to sell them once because of CA smog laws and the potential of fix-it tickets, no bites really.

I know the shop Visette is talking about and they are very reputable. I have seen and heard these headers on a C6. Quality and fitment are excellent. West Coast Corvettes also sells Melrose headers. They are a quality operation so I would trust the brand. That said, I have the American Racing headers on my C5.

I have Melrose headers on my c5 for at least 4 years . they were Gizzly headers when I bought them , seem as good as any other header out there . picked up about 20 RWHP
