Default MVP brand headers

I must say that I am very very impressed with the MVP brand 17/8 headers I recently installed on my c7 z-51. They fit like gloves and didn't take an hour. To install after the stock pipes were removed!

I don't have any of them on the car , but trust me they did fit great, no heating or bending of anything. We just put them up from the bottom and bolted them up, then inserted the x pipe and clamped them down . I haven't started the car yet so I don't know about sound . I put them on the npp mufflers

Default Stock X-Pipe

Can these headers be installed with the stock X-pipe and stock secondary cats? Or do you need to buy their X-pipe too? And does the $324 include their X-pipe?

From the looks for sure on that mid pipe the back cats will not fit. Plus cant bet the price but from what I see the LG, AHR, & others the tube's on these above headers are longer, with these that the OP are talking about are shorter. With what I have seen that will gain less HP in the header, More like the header that you can put both cats back under the car.

But if these fit like he says here cant do any better for price & fitment.

I do agree they look good post pic's with them on the car and sound clip. I really don't see how they are making any money at that price if just for the headers by them self. No way with the mid pipe. Robert

The Amazon MVP Parts link states "Excludes ZO6 Supercharged Model" while the posted DNA pic states LT1/LT4 models.

Can someone confirm these actually fit a C7Z?
