Stainless Works Headers Anybody use these headers on their third gen camaro? I just bought a set and am worried about the 2" collector size hurting performance. Thanks

I'm using them, but the car isnt on the road yet....there are others here who do have them on their street running cars, and from what I understand everyone is happy with them.
I dont see why a 2 in collector is a problem.....

Yeah, it is 2.5. I'm just curious of the power gains. I initially had the 98 maniflolds and switched to 2002's and the car went from 11.90 to 11.73 the next time I ran it. I'm sure there were some other factors in play there but what a nice surprise.

I have the Stainless Works on my 4th gen LS1 with the 2.5" collector. Stainless Works claims the 2.5 collectors are good to 450 rwhp. Actually, I've heard that they'll actually make more power for a car around 400 rwhp. I make 381 with a pretty conservative set-up (224 cam, through cats, with a cutout in the I pipe, but NO pulleys or ported TB). So it appears they are working good in my setup.
