Also I should mention they got the headers to me the day after I ordered them!
Very nice gains.

I wish these guys would hurry up and get the catted X on the market. I really want a CoW tune so as soon as Chuck announces his Houston dates I'm ordering headers. I'd like to save come cash by going with the TSPs, but if they're not available I'll have to go elsewhere.

Sorry for the delay on the catted setup, guys! We've been very busy lately getting ready for the LSx Shootout and all. We are still going to do this, and hopefully sooner than later!! Thanks for your support!

When I spoke to them a little over a week ago the catted X was still a month out. I not waiting any longer and have a set of LG streets coming. I don't see how they can make the headers and X, but 6 months after introducing the headers they still don't have the catted X out yet. Too bad, scratch one sale.

Shouldn't be, others have done it with base C6. Are you thinking of issues with auto C6's?

I have an A6 so I believe I read there was an issue. Something in or around the tunnel had to be trimmed...

Forgot to update my install and dyno.

I did NOT compare these headers to my previous ones ( 1 3/4 Dynatechs ) but with the TSP 1 7/8's and 3x3 off road my baby cam'd LS3 made 485rwhp on a load bearing dyno. On a dynojet it would have been even higher. They are great performers and I can't even explain how much cooler the underhood temps are with the ceramic.

I still have a small problem with my tune but here is the thread with the dyno.

I will first say that I would do it again in a second based on value.

They are not perfect headers. I had a min hole in one of my primary pipes that needed to be welded up and the fit isn't perfectly semetrical down the center of the car. In the end it cost me an extra $150 to get them on the car over what it would have cost to install a brand that had better "quality control". The finish is great, under the hood looks great, I could FEEL a difference in performance.
