Nothing but good things. You should opt to have the headers ceramic coated to keep the heat down. The ceramic coating for the headers only will be the best money you ever spend.

I have the dynatechs. For the money I spent I am pleased. The car sounds better and performs better. In terms of ease of installation, the forum member ("connecticut") who installed mine commented that they were the easiest to install out of the kooks and LGs he had prior experience with. If you can get them for under $1300 shipped that is a good deal. In terms of performance, if you want maximum results I would go with the LG motorsports headers. They have the best design for performance purposes. But, they are 600 bucks more expensive with cats. And yes, my system also does have cats.

I just purchased them from a vendor here GP under 1300.00 shipped.
I have not installed yet. Waiting on my stingers and vararam.
But from the looks out of the box. Looks great. I purchased the complete kit. Headers, X pipe, Gaskets , 02 relocate harnesses.
I did also purchase mine with cats. Still for under 1300.00.
Watch for the GP's
I wait to miniize the smell. My C4 had a big cam with just headers and duals. no cats. Exhaust oder was terrible. Dont want that again.

I thought you bought Kooks? What happend? I have had mine(Kooks) on a week and I love the them. The installer you recommended did a great job. He said they were not the easiest to install though. They fit and sound great.Give me a call if you want to see/hear them.

I installed a set this week on my car. Did it myself in the garage on jack stands.

Took my time and everything went fine. I love the sound and it went together with NO problems or codes.

Thanks to all the forum member post and the instructions that came with them.

Good luck

I've had my Dynatech headers/cats/X-pipe on for a year now without any problems. I also had mine polished and coated before the install.
