Bang for the buck I think they're great. I do have a couple issues. I think they steering shaft is making contact. Possibly on left turns. I need to investigate further.
I think I also have a leak, possibly at the ball or slip joint. I have cats but it's smelling pretty rich about the middle of the car. Haven't had time to get under and investigate.
Overall, I'm very happy with them.

The only Corvette product that I have come across in 15 years that I am a "Fan boy" of. Beats the hell out of the "Corvette Tax" I installed 4 sets so far - no problems with the installs or the product.
Email me for any install info, pictures etc.

Just ordered mine yesterday from Jon and looking forward to them. l also bought a very low milage Z06 Ti exhaust. Anyone running that combination and how does it sound. Pardon the hijack.

a comment like this always must come up even though it has been a debated topic beaten to death on here in many different threads. I am simply done arguing it as I have many of times and it is pointless as no one will ever win an argument on the internet. All I can do is provide the information given to me by the manufacturer.
That said, they make a good set of headers. The quality is as good as any other brand out there. If the OP wants cheap headers that fit and work then these are what he wants.

You don't want to just tighten on flange bolts till you can't turn them any more because that will just distort the flanges. I thought I had them tight enough but a bolt fell out on the passenger side. I got a new bolt and double nutted those bolts so they can't come lose again.

If by a little extra HP you mean 25 more rear wheel then you're right on

Double nut is not a bad idea either!

It has been tuned. I do think they have the idle a bit hight. Thanks for the tips on the ball joints. I will check.
I also have RHS heads, 224/224 TR cam, and Z06 exhaust. It does sound good. I do have a bit more engine noise. My guess is that the heads also have a bit to do with it. Z06 Ti exhaust also get louder with age. Apparently, there's stuffing the eventually gets blown out. Still my prefered exhaust over aftermarket. With the heads and headers added on, the idle roughened up considerably. I'm planning harmonic balancer this winter and thinking of finding a smoother idling cam that hopefully won't sacrifice much HP. I'd like to stay around 400 RWHP.
