Speed Engineering Headers
Has anyone had any experience with these for a 05 LS2 M6? I bought a set of headers and X pipe from a local guy who ended up ******* me over and lying about the fitment, so I am just looking to get a set that will fit and work. Dont want to spend a **** ton of money on these as they are just to give the car a little more HP and sound.

Ive got the 1 7/8 long tubes on from speed engineering and their x pipe out the door 480. This is on my 09 LS3.
fit was great and I used their clamps with no issue or leaks, even had the x pipe removed and reinstalled to service tranny and shifter cable, still no issues or leaks. I did however buy 31 inch 02 extensions as I felt the 24 inch that came with them was gonna be too short. Also used my OEM manifold bolts.

We put them on a buddys 4th gen z28. Fit was ok, they required extensive grinding and working to get them to fit. The hardware included was all junk. The exhaust system was similarly ok, but not great. There is a reason that they're a lot cheaper, and it isnt just lack of mark up. The materials are clearly cheaper than nicer brands, the fit is worse, but overall they can work.
If you're on a budget and have the means to modify them to fit yourself, they're probably worth it. If paying someone else to install, I wouldn't go with them.
If your mom just wants more sound, axlebacks is the way to go.
