Default Grizzley Headers?

Does anyone have any experience with Grizzley headers? I just talked to a tuning show in my area and they are recommending Grizzley headers over LG's. Installed package is approximately $2,200 with highflow cats and a dyno tune.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff

I have seen both sets but never side by side. Always thought the Melrose looked like a nice setup.

they are not SS if that matters to you. LG has the record behind it.

Melrose headers are coated steel. I've had a set of coated, steel headers on my other car for 4 years, with no issues. Their design looks clean and professional. Prices sounds good, too. Good luck.

Wouldn't be HP would it? I know they used to sell Grizzley. Never hear anything negative about those guys!

I'm guessing this is Jeff of VolumeCare fame? Your program Rocks! Thanks for your work on that, actually made my Treo usable. I've shared it with my fellow Corvette Challenge Treo users. And talk about great customer service. Too bad Jeff can't find fixes for our Vettes like he did for us Treo users. Say...maybe you can figure out how to allow our Nav system to work while moving (like my wife's Honda Odyssey will - I guess Honda thinks Odyssey drivers are smarter).

Please pardon my diversion. Just wanted to thank a man for a product I appreciate very much and use many minutes every day.

Somewhat more on topic - I've had Dynatech headers on my C5 and I'm currently waiting for American Racing Headers (for over a month now). I was happy with Dynatech. As a price point, American Racing has a special for $1,491 (stainless with cats), a dyno tune is $450 and install is usually about $200. So your price looks pretty on point compared to down here in FL.

Yes exactly! Have talked to Craig and Kevin a few times now. Really confused over letting these guys tune or use Halltech's Stage I tuning solution. I like Jim's track record of tuning and also the idea of being able to flash my tune back to stock if I need to for service work.

But at the end of the day, it looks like these 3 mods are giving people right around 500rwhp:

1) Long tube headers
2) Tune
3) F-1 high flow filter from Halltech

Thanks for the nice plug and yes you have the right guy! Perhaps I can boost the volume of the OnStar system.

Thanks for the help. The world of performance on Vetts is very confusing! So many options and products to choose from. I love my '05 Z51 but really want to have some real fun in my soon to be delivered 07 C6Z.

Thanks again for remembering me and I am happy you have found value in my products.

Jeff
