I do know what you are looking for but I have them on my 05 Z51 MN6. I installed the Melrose 1 7/8", VaraRam, ported intake/tb and tune. 379/366. I still have the stock mufflers....nice quiet rumble sound. They also come with the Random Technology cats. Now that I have them, I wouldn't trade for anything else. Most headers are so close in performance and finish anyway. I chose the 1 7/8" for a cam application later on. I believe that no one would say anything bad about Melrose Headers.

I"m running the 1 3/4 Melrose headers on my 08 LS3. They seem to be as good if not better then some of the other well known set-ups. My LS3 A6 with 3:15's and a BPP Vortex CAI is Running low 11.4's at 119 mph. They also worked well on my 06 LS2. The quality, fit and finish are superb. $900 bucks is a steal with those cats.

got em, love em.
They're steel as opposed to stainless. Basically bombproof. No cracking. They probably weight slightly more than stainless headers, but I've had em for a year and they still look the same as the day I bought em.

All Long Tube headers are illegal. They relocate the stock cats which is against Federal law. Since the F.B.I. isn't going aroung inspecting cars, you won't have a problem.

I just wanted to let you know that I am a dealer for Melrose now.A friend of mine has known Dave,and his wife for 30+years,and pointed me in his direction.I believe that I can save you all some money here(esp. w/the prices that I have seen on the internet!!!!!!).I can get the complete kits w/the coated hbeaders,cats,x-pipe,bolts,extension wires,plug wires,and the clamps,or coated/uncoated headers.Also,any of their other parts from online.
I own C3s,so not around here much,but I am a dealer for Zip,and several other places,so if there's anything that you all need....give me a shout.I'm not a new face here....I just own a different year vette!
