What did you dyno before and after you put them on? I have never seen any forum talk about the performance compared to proven named brands. I have all my perfoemance parts ready to be installed except headers. I hear that its A 75% chance you will have issues with the install. BUT WHAT ABOUT HP GAINS?? DO THEY STAND UP TO MORE EXPENSIVE BRANDS?
I run the less expensive headers that can be found on ebay and dyno right under 400rwhp (396) with my setup in my stalled + bolton A6 LS2. With stock converter I'd be over 400. It's backed up by running over 122 mph in the 1/4.

Thanks, I been doing this debate with myself for some time. I think vette owners pay for the NAME of stuff too much, when performance isnt always inhanced. I just think we love to list all the names of stuff that sounds like it makes our cars go fast. Well I think I know my conclusion to this purchase.

More like $700-$800 more. I don't know why I keep falling for the "PM me for a great deal" on this forum anymore.

Of course they do. Headers do what headers do...very little difference between any brand.
