Just installed Dyna Super Max an B@B exhaust on my C6. Did the installation myself. Put the car on jack stands about 16-18in off floor. Worked great. ONE WORD OF CAUTION YOU WILL NEED SOMEONE TO HELP REMOVE AND INSTALL THE HEADERS. If not you will risk breaking a spark plug. I did break a spark plug. Good luck and have fun.

Hope you got it all fixed without too many more headaches?

How long has it been, what 5 or 6 months since you installed the KOOKS and got no gain?
It certainly would be interesting to see how much, if any, gain the LGs would get you above the KOOKS.

Don't understand why the smaller bolt head, there's lots of clearance from the header tubes to all the bolts. No need for u-joints or wobble sockets, I could get a torque wrench on every bolt.
