Done And I really doubt it. I mean if you want every single possible extra pony, then sure. But I doubt you will see any difference even with the blower unless you are bigger cubes with lots of boost. I would almost guarantee no seat of the pants gain.

Please put me on the list for the sale pricing on the catted version. Got a fellow club member that is interested in getting headers and these are the one's I'm recommending to them to purchase. If I didn't already have headers, this is the set I'd get for mine.

Thanks!

P.S. - if anyone that has removed their AIR tubes on an 02 and up Vette would be interest in selling theirs I'd be glad to take it.

I'd like to see pics also, been one of my concerns on whether or not to coat them.

I've had mine on about a year, my vette is my daily driver no matter the weather...the x-pipe looks the same as the day I installed it, and the headers look just about the same. There's some very minor blueing on the headers from the heat but that's about it.

I'll try to get my car up in the air this weekend to snap some pictures. They still look great from the top I would not coat them personally as there are no issue with heat and the 321 stainless is awesome stuff

No need to jack the car up for me, I'm mainly curious about the top. Just what you can see when you open the hood. I don't think anybody is going to try to look underneath with it on the ground.

Thanks!

So I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the starter back in after the header is in. I've been working on it for an hour now and I've about had it. It seems there is just no room to maneuver the starter around to get it back up in its spot. I even loosened the header for more space and still nothing. What gives? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yea, you can't get the starter in with the header in, otherwise you would have been able to get the header in without removing the starter

What you do:

Starter out, header off. Fit header up into engine bay. While the header is up there in it's spot not bolted down, take and bolt your starter up. Then bolt the header down

If I need to replace my starter, the XS passenger side header is going to have to be unbolted to get it in or taken off completely? I didn't do the install so I don't know. Thx

Yes, you will have to unbolt your passenger side header.... starter's usually aren't regular maintenance however so no worries Plus unbolting that header is very simple

That would be nice but a little too obvious.

What you do:

Starter out, header off. Fit header up into engine bay. While the header is up there in it's spot not bolted down, take and bolt your starter up. Then bolt the header down
I may have explained it wrong. This is exactly what I did. When I said loosened the header, I meant completely unbolted. I just can't seem to get the starter in position. I'll have to try it again tonight when I'm a little less frustrated.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for posting the pics. The headers look really dark and discolored, is that just poor lighting or do they look that way?
