Vettes are a biatch to put headers on.

Definitely

F-body’s are a piece of cake, or some degree of that depending on header selection. Vettes are a far more difficult install.

Wait, you can put longtubes on a vette? I thought they were limited to shorties or mid-lengths...?

Lt's were no harder to put on a vette for me. Get the dynotech C5 headers. They are stainless and they have awesome bolt together flanges. You will be very happy with them.

Flanges on C5's SUCK, trust me. If I could suggest a C5 headers, LG, Kooks, Stainless Works. The slip fit is so nice.

How do I know, I've done about 10 different C5 header installs. Personally I like my TTS's, but again flanges suck.

Oh, f-bodies seem to be easier, but i've only done two cars.
