I installed Dynatech Supermax headers by myself. I like them, no problems, no codes. I did have them coated by Jet Hot, to keep the underhood heat down. Now I am going to install a cam, mainly for a nice idle since the x-pipe smoothed the sound out.
They advertise 34 to 40 HP if I remember correctly. I can feel the difference, but don't know the numbers as I haven't had a tune yet. I can hear the valve train noise more now also.

I just installed them and they went on without a hitch. I was very impressed with the way they fit and I teamed them up with a Protorque 2800-3200 rpm convertor. I have Andy's super charger set up and all together dyno 505 RWHP with 495 Torque. I have not touched the internals on the LS1. My A4 has been hardned and I also installed a DTE drivers side HD output shaft. I hope to turn about 7.2-7.3 at 96 MPH in 1/8 mile this weekend at strip. Running BFG Drag radials too.
