Default Hers a new one: SSW Headers vs. Dynatech headers

OK- before anyone throws in "KOOKS!", or "QTP!", or "YOU CAN HAVE 3 SETS OF PACESETTERS FOR THE PRICE OF 1 SET OF THOSE!" let me state up front that I don't mind paying a lot of money for either of these headers, especially given the fact there have been no reports of fitment issues, they have a killer y-pipe setup, and come with high flow cats. PLUS, they are Stainless. To me, thats worth the extra 500 bucks or so not to have to worry about wrapping rubber pieces everywhere or taking a prybar and bending stuff.

Now that all that is out of the way, which would you go with? I haven't seen any issues AT ALL posted about the SSW headers. No floorboard interference, no K-member interference, no rubbing or banging anywhere.

The Dynatechs- I have read a couple reports of the catted Y hitting the heat-shields and a report or two on it hitting floorboards, or rubbing somewhere.

Right now, I am leaning towards the SSW headers. I just like the fact there have been no clearance issues with them.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Stainless Works hands down. No clearence issues, easy install, great power. i run the 2 1/2 inch collectors with a 2 1/2 y-pipe with random techs, Stainless works 3 1/2 chamberred exhaust, a 230/230 cam and make 400 to the wheels

What kind of sound are you getting with the chambered exhaust?

Guys running w/ SW... How did you get 2.5" collectors? I only see them offer 3" for their longtubes in Strano store and their own site. Do I need to special order this?
