I had my Supermaxx kit installed on my C6 by RSM Racing. They're in Mississauga by the airport. You can call them at 905-671-9998. They did a great job on mine.

Yup, did mine in the garage too.

Took about a day and a half, but that was double checking everything.

Just make sure you follow the instructions carefully, and if you have any typical wrenching skills, shouldn't be difficult.

Make sure you have jack stands and a jack that can get the front of your Vette at least 19" off the ground.

Just got the Supermaxx system for my 98. Opened the box and voila. Header part number stamping is for the 2001 and newer. air tube located on the #7 exhaust manifold should be on the #5 manifold. Any suggestions on quick fix or my other option is to send back to US for repacement? Going to call vendor tomorrow to repalce.

All you need is a new AIR tube.......about $80@ the dealer

This happened to me too!!!

Call or e-mail Supermaxx.When I did they paid for my new AIR tube and dipstick!!

Let me know if you need any help.It's a pretty easy fix.
