The don't look like long tube, but if they are cheap, I guess you can always try them.
I live in Wellingon FL BTW. I live off 441 in Victoria Grove. What color is your C6? Mine is Machine Silver with Comp Grey wheels (2008).

unfortunately long tube headers - such as these are not 50 state compliant - here is why
The long tube headers relocate the factory cats which by federal law you cannot do - so these specifically are a offroad / race use only style header - doesnt mean people are not going to use them on their street cars but it does mean you wont pass a visual and will probably throw a CEL on certian applications
Unfortunately that 50 state legal verbage that is at the bottom is the same wording we have on every header part number we produce -
Trust me the more I found that needs to be fixed on our website the more I am banging my head into the desk on these .....I am working to get stuff updated as quick as I can and of course when you guys have questions you can call in direct or shoot me a PM or post up

I am sure that they are great headers, but I have B&B's in transit to me. I like the way they bolt up to the exhaust on the car.
Based upon the current wording of the law, all headers are not legal because you have moved the CATS.

Im in for a Wellington meet-up sometime... I suppose being from Royal Palm/West Palm qualifies... lemme know...
I've got some interesting modifications planned and know some of the best places around (and in the state) locally...
We should put our head(er)s together

They are actually 1 3/4" our website has them listed incorrectly, could be why they are not mentioned too much amoungst the Corvette community - but JBA does have headers for 97-07 Vette appplications. And we are currently working on proper fitment on the LS7 and LS3 applications (basically verifying clearence around chassis and other components)

FEAR-
Your PM box is full. PM my your info and maybe Friday night we can do a Wellington/RPB Vette get together. I guess we could start another thread for ie. I was thinking at the Publix on 441 Friday night car show, or maybe Moroso.
