I don't think anyone is bashing you (Pilot) for liking the product, but seriously, an issue may exist (which is a risk with all aftermarket items). It's great Dynatech is addressing the issue, but some proper/longer term testing may have been prudent before releasing the product (given events). It's always a trade-off between quick to market and fully evaluated, the correct mix of which can be a mystery.

I have the Dynatech's on my Magnum, and they are of very high quality...no problems after 3000 miles. Not having seen the C6 product, I have no doubt it too is of high quality, just maybe a little wet behind the ears yet.
Well with all the other header manufacturers out there, I am going to play it safe and pass on Dynatech. It sounds like a big gamble for such little gain.

I looked for dyno runs done on a C6 with your headers but only could find 2 charts done in 2003 - which are obviously not from a C6.

Have any for a C6?
