Having dealt with two sets of these and installing one set...

There is no way I would recommend these.

If you are on a tight budget, then there is no other option than the LG Street Series Headers at $895 from the engine to the cat back complete in 304 stainless steel with removable Off Road Pipes to install cats when you are ready.

BUT.......

If you want the original long Primary header with the first Merge Collector for the Corvette Market then there is no other header necessary for your Corvette than the LG Pro Long Tube headers that set the standard for Horsepower and torque that is never equaled.

ive had flp, lg pro and now ar long tube headers. i liked the clamping system on the flp's, not one leak. the lg i couldnt seal. i always had leaks at the clamps no matter how tight i cranked them on. i just put the ar headers on. the only issue so far is the wiring is very close to the cats

Not sure I understand what the heat has to do with speed? As it cools it needs less cross sectional area to travel in without a pressure increase.
