We know it is a lot to ask people to wait for them, but the response we have gotten for our LS7/LS9 and 2009+ LS3 systems is overwhelming!
we feel we have the best package available with features that can not be beat for the price. Not only is our header package a Tri-Y design, which will give you more usable torque under the curve, we also have added many things to make installation a breeze and provide a durable LEAK FREE operation for years.
- TRI-Y Design, 4-2-1 tube merging
- Makes much more torque under the curve, while still increasing top end HP
- 1.75/2" tube diameter
- CNC flanges with OEM locating features
- Fully hand-TIG welded on-site
- T-304 16 Gauge Stainless Steel
- Fully Brushed Stainless Steel Finish
- V-Band Clamp connections
- Equal length long tubes
- 1-piece X-Pipe available w/ and w/o Cats
- Full 3" collector and X-pipe
- Comes with bullet-nosed flange bolts for faster installation
- Extra bung for wideband O2 tuning included in all kits
- Available with 2 or 4 O2 Sensor extenders
- Available with Cometic Multi-Layer Steel gasket upgrades
- Made in Salt Lake City, Utah
Check out this dyno comparison done on a stock LS3:
This was a before/after with Pfadt Tri-Y headers and a tune. Comparing to traditional 4-into-1 designs, we have optimized our tube diameters, lengths and merging sections to create more usable power in everyday driving without sacrificing anything to peak power numbers.
We have made every effort to listen to the consumers troubles with existing header options and supply solutions in our kit. So exhaust leak concerns are gone with the Pfadt kit. O2 Sensor wiring being too close to the exhaust: gone. Header flanges hard to align to the factory locators problem: gone. Not an extra bung for wideband O2 problem: problem gone. Bad welding causing fitment problems: never going to be an issue with Pfadt.
Just some quick shots:

Pfadt is the only way to go
Look at the dyno numbers - then look at the quality construction - then buy the new top player in the header bizzzzzz PFADT. These guys have brought back the old school designs with modern day mfg. I hope to have mine on by April 4th or 5th!

I just had my 1 7/8 longtubes from hinsonmotorsports installed Friday. Went with the z06 package as they don't yet make a 2011+ kit plus it comes with a 3" X rather than 2.5". Had no problems and fitment was great. Running the headers, no cats, and factory 2.5 Npp. It truly sounds amazing/angry and being able to still be camry quiet when I want is great.
