Good luck dude.


I made a thread like this and asked the same thing and if anyone was running them and got no responses.

They look like a pretty good header for the $$$...but I found some Hookers on ebay instead.

We put some on a C5Z a few weeks ago and the pass side needed the starter pulled and the driver side needed a good amount of elbow grease. Once they were in they bolted up pretty good. The H-pipe had 4 bungs and one of them you couldnt use cause the sensor wouldnt fit into it because it was up against the floor. We were only doing two O2's anyway so it wasnt a big deal. The welds looked great and the flanges were all 1/4 thick. We did a magnet test on the stainless and the only places it pulled was on the bends.. The flanges, welds and straight pieces had zero pull...

For the price you cant go wrong, I was impressed with the quality of the welds and finishing work like the collectors and where the tubes come into the flange at the heads.
