Default Dynatech Supermaxx headers system

Does anyone have any experience with this kit. I found one for under a $1000 new but I just bought my vette and really know nothing yet. It comes with the headers, cats, and x pipe. To be honest with you I haven't even sat in it yet due to a deployment. If anyone has any good info on hp and tq gains and even possible problems that would be great.

His specialty is CORVETTES
This was the first set of Dynatech long tube headers he installed and he said they fit up better than LG systems.I paid $1199 delivered and thought that was a good price "BUY THE SYSTEM" Very high Quality and a complete package

I got the kit, but I haven't installed it yet. So all I can say is the quality looks great and I can't wait to get them on the car. They are heavy gauge Stainless Steel with a nice finish. And is one of the better HP per dollar bolts that you can do. I am embarrased to say what I paid for mine, if you can get them for $1000, then you are getting a steal of a deal.

Installed mine in May of this year and love the change. Installed Dynatech Supermaxx, Blackwing and Corsa exhaust. No tuning or dyno work cause I don't see the need or bang for the bucks. I can feel a big difference in SOTP's power. Pulls much stronger down low than it did before. The system fits like a glove and sounds mean as hell.

I just got mine installed today, along with some Z06 mufflers. The fit and finish is really good. Seat of the pants there is definitely more umph and I'm sure it will get better after the computer adjusts. The Z06 mufflers are great - they are no louder than stock in steady state cruising but they get pretty loud when you step on it.
