Anyone have any experience with Speed Engineering headers and x-pipes on a Z06?

Are they true long tubes or like a mid length AMR?
how is the fit on their headers; do they hang low?

Hopefully they perform better than their valve covers.

I have both. They're amazing. Great customer service also. Beautiful welds. Flawless fit. Adaptable to any exhaust aftermarket or not. I kept the oem axle back muffler.

Very easy install. I did it on jack stands in the garage last month.

Keep in mind to an untrained eye they're not long tubes. They're mid length headers. Does it make a difference? Not really. 5 hp or so not that you'll ever notice. Super deep tone. Surprisingly not very Loud until full or over half throttle. It's almost the same volume as factory exhaust with the secondary cats removed. Very little drone.

**** make sure you buy o2 extensions from Michigan motorsports or Texas speed.
*also will be $20 6ftx2inch wire heat shield on ebay
** most importantly buy APR head studs for 100$ or the 10mm 12 point stainless steel header bolts for 30$
