These guys seem to be really nice guys and they were the first to cop to the Patriot heads being bad, so I think they deserve some business for being honest. Plus, they are having a 4th of July sale on Kooks & Dynatech headers.

Try Shawn at L.A.P.D. or Andy at A&A Corvettes.
They are both vendors on this forum.

I have been talking to Andy at Zip products. I have bought one set from him for a customers car and getting ready to buy a second set for another customers car.

Default 1 7/8 ???

why so large?
1 3/4 , or even 1 5/8 would be better for street use, ( just my opinion)
unless your motor is modified ALOT!
with larger primary tubes, you will loose some bottom end, yes it will flow better at higher rpm, but unless you have bigger cam, intake, etc, you'd be happier with smaller primary headers.
what makes me an expert?? nuthin!!!
I worked as a designer for Hooker Headers for a number of years, and have been drag racing for to many years , but thats just my opinion!

Good Luck
