How does the ease of installation of Dynatechs on a C6 compare to a C5? I just sold my '03 Z and bought an '05 Z51 coupe. I had the Dynatechs on my '03 and loved them, and the installation was easy. Is it as easy on the C6?

Thanks for your reply. Did you have to jack the engine up to put in the driver's side? I had to on the C5. The passenger side just dropped in.

Thanks

No engine jacking required. There is some maneuvering required to pass them up, and it's definately a one-on-top/one-on-bottom phase of the install (until they're bolted to the heads).

I did mine on a lift - easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy...
