Default dynatech headers?

I'm looking at the dynatech headers/cats/x-pipe setup and I am looking for any input on these, good or bad. Anyone have any experiance with these? They look nice but I've never heard anything about them.

I recently installed a set w/ X pipe - excellent fit, good instructions, about as easy of a self install project as you can get - MANY satisified users on this forum from what I can tell. I'd recommend them. Heck, just look up England Green and take a look at the picture of the underside of his car w/ the red tunnel plate and his Dynatech headers - that was enough to make me pull the trigger.

I installed the Supermaxx system on my '98. The car now seems more fun to drive,and with the X pipe ,has a whole new sound.Shop the internet you can find them for $1095.00 with the high flow cats.

Is that the same system that MidAmerica has advertised, I think for $1495.00 for the whole system Headers/Hi flo cats/x pipe, I see that the C5 system isn't Ceramic coated, but the system for the C6 is, wonder why.

I have it and have no complaints. Fit & finish are top notch and the install was straightforward. Nice power gains and a healthier growl too!!!

Got the dynatech longtube, cats and xpipe. Corsa catbacks. The car sounds like it's farting potatoes but it gets up and goes.

I previously ran the Dynatech long tube header package with good results. I picked up about 3 MPH in the 1/4. Pretty good bang for the buck.

I had the same thing but it was because there wasn't enough of a difference in the front and rear O2 readings. I just deleted the rear O2's and everything is all good now.

I've look everywhere and did numerous searches but can't find any that cheap. Do you know who has them for that price? Thanks.

Check ebay sellings under Corvette Garage, usually has a set offered and you if you are lucky, may win a great bid price. Great company.

You got my hopes up for a minute there but no, it's not $1495. Maybe they raised the price but now it's $1699.

I actually have a bid on a set from them right now. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't bid on them, I'm sure he'll have another set listed as soon as the auction ends being that he is a Dynatech authorized dealer. Thanks.
