I think these headers are great for someone looking to pick up a little and have that header sound. But I would not put them on the same level as these other setups.

Would I buy them for one of my cars.. probably not.
Would I install them again.. for sure.
I think it is hard to beat from a bang for the buck perpective.

Here is a thread to a Dynatech install.

Look at the pics and you can see its the same header.... not to mention their #1 complaint was that the '02 bungs were in the wrong place'.

Some headers just have longer tubes, but these are still long tube headers - along with TPIS and AR, etc..
If you are looking for the headers that make the most power, i dont think you should be looking at these - but you could easily make up the power with the money saved
What could we really be leaving on the table, 10hp?

The comparison of short, mid, and long tube and the effect of each on performance gets way deeper into mass flow and harmonic extraction than I can do anymore. Long tube offer maximum improvement at one rpm band, mid tube at another and probably at a different improvement level. Same for shorties. It would be really neat to see a dyno curve for the ebay headers and some other long tube brand to see where the response is.

It looks pretty close to the ebay header, since the primaries are shorter as well as the collector being a slip-in type.

Air Tube
I have a 2002 z06 and the passenger airtube is not bent for the #8 cylinder!
Can I cut and couple the pipe with a silicon hose?? Are the temps too high for the hose? I was also thinking a long metal hose clamp. Any help would be appriciated!!

I used a pipe wrench to grip the pipe and sort of bent the end with my hands. It was a big pain in the *** and took alot of time. You will kink the pipe some, but try not to collapse it. It ended up looking like a sideways 'S'. If you plan on getting a tune, you can probably remove the assembly completely and tune it out. If you know how to weld, you can shorten the pipe and weld it of course

For reference, I made a quick vid the other day of my exhaust. Don't mine my feet, I don't have any video editing software.
