Default questions about stainless work longtubes

So on this board, the majority of people love the qtp headers. My question is how well are the stainless work longtube header compared to qtps or kooks. Speed engineering is selling a complete engine upgrade which consists of afr heads, custom cam, fast 90, nick williams 90mm tb,slp 85mm maf, stainless works longtubes, with ory( catted is 300 more), and other misc stuff for a decent price. I was originally was going with qtp headers but this package seemed liek a great deal. i've search the forum about stainless works and alot of gto owners love it but not many f-body owners have stainless works. I just wanted to know if stainless works longtubes are up to par with kooks, and qtp's. Also if they are any problems installing stainless work longtubes.

Only issue with installing them is you may have to undo the passenger side motor mount to get it to slide in. They fit well and work very well.

They fit very well and are a high quality product. I had no issues installing the headers but the y-pipe gave me some issues so I just got it modified and went with duals instead. Some don't like the necked down 2 1/2" collector, but I think you can get a 3" collector too.

Our headers are 100% 304 Stainless alloy. Flanges are 3/8" thick laser-cut stainless that will not crack or warp. All our stainless procucts carry a lifetime warranty. Coating and custom collector sizes are available on request.

I also did a detailed ~5-page installation writeup of the SW headers as well. PM me with your email addy if interested.
