Default Dynatech headers....

Anyone running these headers on their street car? If so, what is the quality of the product, any problems, HP/TQ gains?

Looking at buying a set and wanted to know before I bought...

Not running Dynatechs but I have talked to several tuners about them - they had positive reviews on them. Good product at a price less than some of the other big name brands.

I am running these on my 2003 ZO6 and love them. I also had them on my 2000 COUPE and that was the reason I returned to them.

Both of my cars had other modifications, so I can't provide you with accurate #'s due to the fact that I never dyno'd the cars with just the LTs.

I've had them on my 2003 Vette for about 4 years with no problems at all. They've been great for me. Put these one when doing some other mods so can't say what specific power or torque they added. But love the sound of my Stingers through these!

I'm about to install a set of XS Power headers on a friends 2003 Vert so I can let you know in a few weeks how they compare.

How in the world did long tube headers quiet your exhaust?? That makes no sense to me...

They are great headers. I have had a set on my car for 5 years. I have had zero problems with them. They fit perfectly and are easy to install.

Just installed a set on my 98', great fit and relatively easy install . I have 1 3/4 with high flow cats and B&B Bullets. Great product comes with 02 extensions for fronts, and gaskets.

I bought mine used and they were still in great shape. rather simple install too. I would totally recommend them. I have them catless running through stock exhaust. louder than before but nothing crazy. I forsee a catback in my future though

I have these headers on my car. Fitment is excellent and have not had any issues with headers in 3 years the headers have been on my car.

Default any updates since 2011?

Hi everyone
Just wondering if there were any reviews of Dynatech headers since 2011? the reviews were all favorable regarding product quality and installation.
I see these advertised with ceramic coating and hi-flow cats and free shipping for $1,451.
Thanks for any additional responces and feed back. Rick

I had these Jet Hot ceramic coated and installed on my '02 Z51 a couple years ago. They are high quality headers and the kit is complete with O2 sensor extensions, and high quality clamps/gaskets. I don't have base numbers, but with Borla Quad Tip Stingers and a dyno tune, the car made 342/357 RWHP/RWTQ with the high flow Cats. The sound was aggressive, to say the least. Eventually I switched to Z06 Titanium exhaust which better suited my taste. I recommend them without any reservations.
